The www.wholesaleperformance.com.au URL doesn't work for me. Barry

porting is a link to a porting site its there to flog there porting gear but has some ####in good digrams and tips for anyone porting heads... i would go the ovel port .. a gx head would be the ducks nuts not sure but i think thay have bigger valves and double springs

like i said, oval is better, if you want better flow your cheapest upgrade and prob most beneficial is to get an oval port head

arp make a stud kit for both a12's & a14/15's.haven't found anyone in aus with one in stock yet,but check out www.wholesaleperformance.com.au for part numbers.they're in brisbane,they're an importer,& the site has a link to arp.

the ports are round is that good or bad

oval port heads are the common A14 head in the US.

jimmy, the round port heads have perfectly round ports. If you take the intake manifold off it will be easy to tell.

no Not an A14 head get an A15 head as they have a lot more meat on the gasket face so you cane get the head planed for high compression without getting hotspots

first thing i would be doing would be getting an oval port head off an a-14 for it, it will be a great improvemnt in flow without modification, i think, not sure but it may even have larger valves in it too

as for the studs ive never done anything like that so i couldnt really tell ya

im, thinking your reply will read "a-14's are too rare to find an oval port head" or something to that effect but i really think its the way to go
