Ported my D0VE-C heads

So I wanted to smooth out my ports and eliminate the bumps and what not that you get with the stock heads. What do you think, did I do a good job for a first time pocket porting job? My dad got the bump in the exhaust port down and got the majority on the one head down. I went over all of it to make sure it was good and made sure they all felt the same. Gave them a good inspection and ported the second one. Valves are 2.12/1.76 and before my dad cleaned up the chambers my builder showed me how to CC a head. The heads are D0VE-C heads off of a 1971 429 and they ended up 80.4 CC's. I thought they were supposed to be 72 CC's? The CC'ing was done after the valve job.




I polished them off a bit after I took these pictures:



The exhaust ports are smooth as glass now.

Looks good to me but I am no head porter by no means, one thing I done on mine was polished them with sandpaper rolls after porting them to make everything smooth as I could get it

Thats what I did. I'll get some updated pictures soon.

"I thought they were supposed to be 72 CC's?" Most of the small chamber heads I have had & have, are closer to 77cc. 72 was for the CJs. With the clean up you have done, you probably added a few.

Chamber volumn also depends on valves being used and how many valve jobs have been done ( how recessed the seats are), or where the machinest set the depth when cutting for the bigger valves.

ity is also hard to check the cc's with out the right stuff to do it
i have done my own at home
used vaslean and a plastic dish cove and i was off about 6 cc's
i was also told not to use water the guy that done mine used stuff that kinda looked like wd-40
