Yeah I'd like to flow the heads, if I can find someone local, who does this.
I'm actually being pretty conservative. Port match the intakes. I opened up and ovaled the exhaust ports slightly. Widened the bowls around the valve stems, and unshrouded the valves and spark plugs slightly.

Spent a little time on the long turns, and roof of the ports. I didn't want to lose any velocity on the intake side or create any dead spots. I'll probably leave the intake surface rough

I did very little on the short turn radiuses, smoothed edges, cleaned up the flash, and gave a polish on the exhaust side

I'd be curious to see what difference there is.

I am going to CC them, as a last step. Lots of work, esp on the exhaust.

Yeah, because of the bent pushrods, the valves and seats must be redone.
