At 67cc ... the summit vortecs aren't real GM ... and neither are these
http://www.motorville.com/tabloid/page_24.htm
but you can assemble those for a lot less than summit ... you can buy a kit (for 2 heads) with valves, springs, retainers, locks & studs for under $175.

I believe CNC machines can also be used to take the unfiinished casting and bring to a finished, machined state.

[QUOTE=TedH]I'd recommend no more than 190cc intake runners unless you are going larger than 355ci. My understanding is that CNC is a type of machine that performs controlled porting of the combustion chamber and associated areas.[/QUOTE
Thanks am going with the stock L82 on bootem end. So I will look at the 190cc
