Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
im looking at a set of stock, ported heads. the guy just sent me pictures of them, but i dont know enough about heads to tell them from a set of untouched stockers. if anyone could take a look at the pics and give me some feedback id appreciate it!
what kinda feedback are you looking for, they look like a set of portmatched stockers with the flashing removed and some finishing to the valveshroud andbowl
I want confirmation that theyve been ported because i dont know what to look for. I know they are stock heads. I might pick these up this weekend, i want to make sure im not paying the price of ported heads if nothings done to them. I was going to do a set myself, but i found this set at a hard-to-pass price.
They look like they've been cleaned up, but theyre far from being hogged out. I can't tell if they've blended the bowl there? Looks like just the walls were smoothed out and maybe ports matched a little.
Hard to tell, but they have definatley had work done to them, even down in the bowls. It's a risk buying someones "port job" You can really eff up a head if you don't know what your doing.
I'll be devil's advocate...it can be really hard to screw up a port job unless you're running a really high performance engine.
Is it a street application?
Unless there are obvious differences, you should be o.k.
Race application?
Ah, different animal.
And unless the provider of said heads can show evidence of a 3+ angle valve job, etc, etc, , eh, I would say you have some idea of what you're getting.
Does it match your application?
That's another story....

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
Most people would have no reason for doing a 3 angle valve job unless it was ported as well.
Not that it's a bad thing...

The place where you pick up most of a difference is the bowl work and you can tell someone was in there but without a valve out of there it is hard to tell. The springs are worth a couple hundred so if you were to do your own you would have to buy them.
