Would this be considered quite a bit of porting?? 
Measured with the best i had didn't have a micrometer to measure so i had a few nails i filed down to where they fit into port holes on the exhaust side.
The new motor has a 1/4 of an inch taken out width wise and height wise.
so that a lot or not much at all??

if it is those heads from the motor you just bought then they weren't profressionally ported but the guy did seem to open them up quite a bit. for what it is worth they did help knock off a couple tenths to get that 6.9x pass on your time slip. see if you can get some pictures of the ports.
Why are you wasting your time with filing down nails and showing these pics? Just put the thing together and run it. Make sure you don't have such a horrendous exhaust leak. Hell it looks slow anyway.

the important thing about porting isn't how much material you remove but how well you shape the inside.
Velocity > Volume
Steveo knows more about the car than I probably do, so if you got any questions ask him.
