I also have a spare set of T25 heads which I am planning on getting rebuilt. Must be T25 heads as thats what my exhaust needs (rectangular ports). The seats will all be replaced but what other work should I get done to them?
What size ports (inlet and exhaust)?
What Rocker gear?
What else??? (port and fluff? port and polish?)

Car is daily driven to and from work, and gets blasted up the motorway once or twice a week (to keep the mayonaise in the oil down to a minimum).
She will eventually be supercharged, but I will get the heads that are coming off rebuilt for that purpose. What C/R could/should I aim for?

Cheers for now,
Sam C

I would recommend that you change the valve to 42 x 36 (that is what the 2.0 914 used) It should work very well with your enginge. Plus a 3 angle valve job & mild port & polish should do the trick.

Get some 1.7L rockers with the small stem adjusters and some 911 swivel foot adjusters to go with them, throw in some solid rocker spacers from a Hyd engine or Fat (or build your own).

Definately port your intake and exhaust, it's not that hard. Check out Standard Abrasives website for some generic info on porting heads. Your exhaust ports should match your header. Intake should match your manifolds. My 1.8L heads had a nice flat "step" hiding behind the valve guide, I removed it to look like a 2.0L 914 head exhaust. do your porting before guides and final valve job.
