I had no port work on my factory heads from memory.
Port clean up is probably a better description. Some heads obviously needed more work to the casting than others.

If only they had fitted some proper heads to them, rather than fitting higher flowing stuff on intake and exhaust, only for it to breathe through a straw using tiny factory ports.

They should have used the bigger alloy heads Ford Racing had at the time. GT40X heads I think they were? Or was it GT40Y?

Maybe not so much on the 220, but at least on the 250kw engines.
