Hey guys, I just finished my engine build and now I have a bunch of parts Latin around. One of the things that came off the old motor is a set of 492 casting Camel Hump heads. They have 2.02 1.60's and heavy duty valve springs. I've heard that these heads can make 500hp if the right guy ports them. I have no use for them currently, but if they are gonna just sit on the shelf I was thinkin send them to "the right guy" who can make them sing. Any leads are much appreciated.

I love learning the history on our trucks and the parts they use, so any cool info on 492 camel humps would be great! Far as I can tell from reading, these were on corvettes in the late 60's early 70's?
