Since these heads have the ability to produce more than 600 naturally aspirated horsepower when matched with the proper components, they're the perfect combination to the World Products small-block 350 engine block that we're putting together. The internals of the engine consist of a Lunati billet crank and connecting rods, and CP Pistons. We can't wait to use the Fast fuel system, but before we get there, we need to knock out and prepare the heads.
Remember to go online and vote for your favorite lowrider engine at www.SyntecTopShop.com. Once there, you can register to win this engine. Look out for the next installment where we take on the bottom end of this World Products small-block and make it as "bulletproof" as possible. We'll show you how the rotating assembly will go on, but for now see how we play head games with the competition.
 Each individual stainless...  Each individual stainless steel valve was removed and checked for tolerances from the intake to the exhaust as both of them took the same process. |  Even though manufacturers...  Even though manufacturers tell you that their heads are ready "out of the box," some old school guys like going through the whole thing one more time to ensure that the heads do not fail. |  The head ports and manifold...  The head ports and manifold ports were lined up to see how much is needed to be removed from the manifold. |
 Using a gasket the same OD...  Using a gasket the same OD as the machined ported heads will allow us to use the gasket as a template and transfer the size that we're looking for. |  The end caps were test fitted...  The end caps were test fitted using ARP studs and bolts. |  While the intake manifold...  While the intake manifold was going to be ground, Jerry moved onto the World Products engine block. |
 This heavy duty World Engine...  This heavy duty World Engine block was ready for full assembly. |  Each port is individually...  Each port is individually ground and it will take hours to manually complete this part of the build as you will have to go back and forth on the grinding. |  The aluminum intake was ready...  The aluminum intake was ready to have the air intake ports opened up to match the heads that we're using. The intake was blueprinted (or, in our case, painted with a Sharpie marker) to allow the marking of the material that needs to be removed to show up. |
 Jerry started disassembling...  Jerry started disassembling the bearing end caps to allow him to assemble the rotating assembly. |  First on the agenda was to...  First on the agenda was to "mic" the Lunati Crank for the bearing sizes. |  Next month we'll continue...  Next month we'll continue our assembly as Jerry has to order the bearings needed to install the Lunati rotating assembly. |
