Dart 225 Head "as cast" Pictures
These were a Christmas gift from my wife. They arrived a couple of days ago. I haven't seen a whole bunch of "as cast" pictures of these heads floating around so I figured I would post these for informational purposes. These are straight out of the box. I only took the valves out for the pictures.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Thank you very much for the very interesting pictures. But will you have to upgrade to a stronger double valve spring. I here these heads come with beehive singles is it true?

I plan to leave them alone even though I ported the last set myself. I agree that the valve seat areas do look hand-blended. I believe that is typical practice after installing seats. That is how my last set looked after my valve job. The single springs are good to .625" lift and my cam is only .575" so I don't plan to upgrade springs.

With your larger/heavier 2.05 intake valves and the higher rpm's you will have to spin your motor to really make good power numbers using these heads. I think you will need stronger duel springs and a higher lift cam to really make these 225 heads work for you. Futral commented briefly about his double valve spring option concerning these heads in another thread.
