    That is some nice work. You are a good man. And by the way . I am not a big fan of 305 heads . And it is true that a lot of the 305 #416 and #601s are cracked . I bought a set from a shop on E bay . I was going to ues them on my original 305 to do a build . They had new 184in/1.50ex S/S valves with screw in studs and guide plates . And both were cracked with repair made to them ? They never said that they were sending repaired castings ? Now they are bare and I am redoing them . I to also always bought heads bare . But this one time ! The last time . But if a guy has a good set of #416 or #601 heads they will work well for a 305 build after they have been ported . Like you I also do this work for a living 25 years . And for fun 30 years . And its still great to know more info on these engines . And I got my info on the S/R heads at www.worldcastings.com
