Holy casting flash, Batman!



"Just bolt it on" they said. "Ready to run out of the box" they said......
ALWAYS check your parts. I didn't even notice this until I had been through this head a couple of times.

That's one of those special "swirl-inducing" ports...

Edelbrock. you can tell by the swoopy edge of the chamber. Speedmaster/Procomp still use the squared off chambers from the first edelbrock casting.

I also had a SBO Performer RPM intake that had a HUGE chunk of casting flash - almost 1" square - that looked like a spider web sitting in one of the runners. Crazy thing is I bought that intake used................
