Hey guys, I just wanted to update. I called that link, good find btw. It'll cost me about $200 with shipping as the price says. Do we have any dontations?
It would be much appreciated, I'm still trying to work on repairing my supras intake manifold and thats gonna be another $250... So if we have any paypal dontations that would be greatly appreciated.

What I'm going to do is take the bare head and have it shipped to my friend who will flow bench it stock, I'll post up the numbers for I&E with a clay radius, then I need to pay to have it shipped back to me, to have it street ported as best as I can without mucking up the port shape, ship it back to him for the re-flow. Then I could sell it to somone who would want me to port the Right side head as well. That sale would ONLY serve to recoupe my materials and shipping. (So anyone that was looking for a VERY Budget set of street + heads with confirmed flow bench numbers would may want to go ahead and donate the purchase of the head. Just a suggestion.

I'm only doing this for data, so people know about this amazing motor. I'm going to be using a Pro Standard Abrasives kit with a air powered rotary Die grinder, other matierals will include Dykum, WD 40 for lubrication, cleaning agents, and I'll have to pay to have it hot tanked. Additionally, I'd have the head milled as little as possible just to true the deck if somone would be willing to purchase it, this is one motor I DON'T want to increase compression on incase anyone wants to use it for some boosties!

I dunno, I think the LY7 would be a fantasic motor even NA, with some headwork and a more agressive cam. Typically GM goes for high port velocity, low cam profiles.
