GT40P Heads Freshly Machined & New Crane Cams Beehive Springs | Paintjob

The heads are back from the machine shop and they’re looking shiny and new. These GT40P heads for the works! They received all brand new Ford valve seals, keepers & retainers. They got a 3 angle valve job and a bead blast. After I got them back to the shop I applied brakleen to the outsides of them and then masked them off. I shot them with the same bright red engine enamel and 1 shot of clear. The finished result photos speak for themselves.
