Default Got heads back (pics)

I just got my gt40p heads back from the machine shop today. They were milled, and i had a 5 angle valve job done. They also put on some new comp cams springs and retainers. I just wanted to share, what do you guys think?

Here you can see they had to replace one exhaust valve and you can see the milling they did.

Well I havent run these heads yet but I think I will enjoy them a lot. the 5 angle valve job was 100, the resurfacing was 40, and the guides, valve seats, plugs, spring shims, valve springs, and retainers came to about 210. Altogether it was 379.72. Sorry guys but I wont have any install info for a while because these are going on the 331 stroker im just starting to build, not the 302 thats in my stang now. If you want more detail on the heads or parts, check out the website in my sig, i update it anytime i do anything.

Yeah no bump like there is in the stock heads. I didnt have the machine shop do any porting, but when i decide on what intake i want and what headers, i am going to port match everything.
