All I can say is that the Brodix 10 was a good head ... about the porting, I have no idea.

I have a good friend that purchased the head porting machines and programs when Ron closed. I can ask him if he can or would help me. PM me and we can talk

Ron's porting out of St. Charles Missouri was always known for top notch on a national level.

Someone took an angle milled head from Ron’s and surfaced it all the way over pretty much ruining the heads.

Unless you plan on welding the bottom of the port and flange to get back the material those heads are doorstops.

To seal the bottom of the intake port look at the pictures in the book Bill Jenkins put out years ago about the small block Chevrolet engine. He was at a match race in Florida in the 70's and had the engine apart at Don Garlits Speed Shop in Tampa the following week. The heads were off the engine and on the bench. They looked like the heads in his book. It is a simple fix.
