Further tear down yesterday revealed that the rockers are scat not pauter like I was told. The heads are aggressively ported, like a wedge port, and the manifolds and gaskets to match. I checked lift at the valve and found it's only .370 which seems small to me for a motor this size, but there are dual valve springs for higher lift/revs. Heads are a 040 casting, not sure how strong that is compared to the 044 CB heads. There is no oil cooler in the shroud just the large external cooler, I'm going to test this setup in the car to see how well it works. I did add a thin line oil sump as it's pretty much required for twisty mountain roads.
