Nobody questions that lens are the best however the price is often out of the range that most want to spend. For example, I am simply having fun building my engine. I plan on using it for rare street use so spending +2500 on heads isn't a great idea. I posted the pics so that others in similar situations can see the alternatives. I realize that they are not of the caliber of Lens heads however nobody claimed they were. The original topic of this thread was DRD heads. Nobody has owned up to owning and set and posted pics- probably because they will catch a bunch of crap if they do. Also- for the record- the marks in the chambers are from the CNC machine and are barely palpable. |

Also- for the record- the marks in the chambers are from the CNC machine and are barely palpable. Both heads look good to me. It's a matter of what one is trying to achieve. The Bugpatch heads look better suited to a high compression set up than Len's heads. I do not believe their is an advantage to having a 3 bolt opposed to a 4 bolt setup for mounting your manifolds. Len's head do look like there were finished with a Drimmel type tool. Having ported a few heads myself that is what they look like when ported by hand using a rotary tool. The heads done with the CNC machine should be a better mactch once cc'd. |
