QUOTE(vsg914 @ Nov 14 2011, 06:10 AM)  I'm betting part of the price difference between Bugpatch and Len is not plugging and drilling for the 3 bolt intake? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.aircooledtechnology.com-1095-1321308573.1.jpg) |

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. |

Of course when you can afford a 2270 I guess its easy to find flaws. I say great job Tornik550 you looked at all the options and went with what you can afford. Nothing wrong with not being engine poor. |

I'll try to get some pics up of the DRD Heads in a day or two. (I'm at the office right now) Pics are on my computor at home. They were very nice as well. I did'nt need or want the 4 bolt converted over to the 3 bolt intake set up so I did'nt see the need to spend the extra money for that. However Darren would have been happy to have done that also. |
