Finally got the motor yanked out of my old ITE/AIX car. The car ran last in 2003 after winning the SFR SCCA ITE regional championship - water pump nipple failed in a post season race at Thunderhill, I parked the car in my new shop and built a business.

Here's where it was earlier yesterday:

Ports and seats were fluffed by Mike Blackstone of Watson Racing prior to the last season on the car. $350 $300 for both, assembled as pictured with valves, springs (I recommend replacing them) Ti retainers, guideplates and 7/16" studs.

Sometime in the 9years that the car was sitting in my shop or garage, some water got into #7 and 8, rusting the bores and leaving this residue in the intake ports - valves are stainless, I think they should clean up OK. The orange residue on the combustion chambers brushed right off.

Got a port matched intake also, pics later.

Thanks Alan.

How much power did this motor make? Is the tune still available if he wanted to cut and paste (not sure if there is a file that can be sent or??)?

373rwhp at about 6100rpm. TQ was 345 about 4000rpm The big Ultradyne cam was a little too big, or not enough displacement, it was a little soggy on the bottom end.
Tune is all here: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?sho...c=16020&hl= it is not locked so if I could find someone to read the flash from the bare PCM the buyer of the heads can have it, but honestly, the tune will have more to do with choice of cam than anything else.

The same heads with a LT4 Hot cam had a lot more bottom end, got me 192MPH at the May 2001 Silver State, it was probably about 350rwhp then.

The original cam that DRM put in the motor when they rebuilt it was a baby smog cam, made 323rwhp with CARB legal accessories and shorty headers and a single cat. That cam later went into the Fowler #92 AI car, and was perfect there, about 330rwhp and 3200#, was right on the AI spec.
