Something interesting about the last photo... Looks like I may have to use a sealant on the intake manifold bolts

They are just gorgeous... I wish they were more careful about scratching the ends though.

Rub marks from the packing / cardboard. Trust me, these things are like absolute glass. I'm completely blown away.

And not just from the aesthetic aspect of it. These things are HEAVY AS HELL. I've literally never lifted a head so damn heavy.

Picked them up from Kip himself today at Cam Motion. What a GREAT GUY to talk to!! He showed me around the shop, and I was able to see cams being made from literal bar stock, to the finished product.

VERY eye opening and quite the learning experience to say the least.

Picture of the intake port looks like a mirror/glass.

Nice looking heads! Thanks for sharing

You just sold a set of MAST heads for them haha. Going to give a call next week.

Look great man! Did you talk to kip about cam options for these? Possible one of his solid roller low lash setups?

Told you these were some heave sob's . Hopefully tax return I'll have mine on. Also eyeing the titan v cam from cammotion. Almost exact as the spin grind, its a street car so I'm more interested in what it'll trap.

Actually I did. We pulled a set of both Jesel and T&D's out and had a look. I'm really starting to give it a lot more thought now.

And call Kip about the heads. He'll give you a pretty good deal, and he's great to speak with.

So you bought the heads from Kip? PM me what kind of deal you go if you don't mind.

Morel 5254's are really looking appealing for a solid lifter. I don't know much about their durability though.

I don't have the blocks lifter bosses bushed for other options, obviously (motor not coming out of car) but am wondering what all is available at a good price, worth a damn, and hopefully a bit taller to allow a slightly shorter push rod for an even more rigid valve train.

Also, don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but I do now have an ATI balancer, 10% UD, built with the upgraded high RPM dampening material.

Your going to go to a solid roller on this build ? Are you going to get some before and after dyno or track #'s ???

I'm contemplating it. I'd need to talk more with some folks first.

Also found out PAC has the 1221x's listed wrong on the website. Good for .700 lift
