Thank you Dean, I'd seen a couple of pictures of the heads before (Dave Andrews, Darrell 's white '67) but not with that level of detail. Seems like machining the head is the "easy" part but making and fitting the header is the trickier bit.
Are they a garage ornament, or are they destined to be fitted to something soon?

I never thought I would ever find a pair of those rare Fumio heads complete with exhaust, but they just came up for sale on FB. With those now in hand, I have been collecting all the other parts needed to build the complete engine, period correct 1972. So, I'm build a 2090cc, using an 84 Okrasa crank, knife-edged and wedgemated, Childs & Albert 5.7 rods, 89mm Mahle slipper skirt pistons and biral Empi cylinders, Engle VF-3 cam, Empi mag sump and pulley, Joe Hunt magneto with tach drive and Hunt timing ring, '72 universal case with 10mm studs, Empi 1.4 rockers, Empi valve covers, Empi cross-bar linkage, oil filter top mount, Nickerson oil pump and Accel wires. Pretty much the exact engine that Darrell Vittone ran back in 1972-era.

Nice, Dean!!  I remember Fast Freddie's sand rail having those style heads years ago up until a tiny grain of sand stuck
a nitros valve open on one side of the motor... big explosion with major damage to lots of stuff.

I think most people have forgotten that Clyde has been doing all of the port work at Bergs since the mid 70s....he told me he was only 14 when he started...HE has some great head stories...

Gday again Joel.

Ask him nicely to send me a pic of some old-style intake ports (or pics of yours  Grin)that DON'T have a port that turns a 1584 into a light switch at 3000! Hahaha!
Great fun to drive, but I still obviously go just that little bit too far.........  Roll Eyes

Great pics in this thread.

Neat line up of parts. Very cool.

This year will be 45 years since the Head Shop "wedge port" design was introduced, still being used by Bugpack/EMPI.

This post was more of a test, and to try to figure out how to add pictures.

I remember getting the Superflo ported heads in like 1982 from SCS guys in Anaheim. I was running a lot of Pauter parts, being military in San Diego. Also had some Berg stuff in engine. I had Pauter shaft rollers on those 42.5 x37 units. Ran like special wedged pushrod, engine had Chevy rods.

Ok picture loading, that didn't work. Darn 1st attempt. But cool I think I just figured it out. We went cruising for races, leaving the polish on two of our cars, just to get attention. The 1835 on the left, and my 2110 on the right.
