D0OE-R Head porters
Has anyone tried welding up the chambers and reshaping to a modern chamber design? If so, what were the results? (class mandates correct head)

The relocation of the valves in the new scj generation of heads allows for the tight figure 8 combustion chamber. One could weld a small squish shelf on the plug side of the chamber however it effects intake flow at high lift.

Blake did a bunch of chamer work on a set of oc d2's a while back I seem to recall it worked very well, but probable wasn't worth the expense if you have to pay for it

Re: D0OE-R Head porters
Spend your time and money on the exhaust side first, before you start welding the chamber. You have a intake capabale of making 900 hp+ but exhaust only to a bit over 800 with out welding.
I have welded up and reshaped aluminum head chambers, but doing this to a cast iron head is a hell of a big job, and you take a chance of cracking the head. You need to get a well know shop to do this, if you decide to go that route.
JMHO.
