Help you out a bit John.
If you take a typical E-head with the pushrod hole in the normal location and add a brass sleeve to the hole, you get Mike's head. His head is ported to the edge of the brass sleeve insert. "There are tubes for the pushrods that cuts into the side number maybe .80 or so. more at the bottom" If you are friend's with Vic Edelbrock, like Jim Butler was, and can get E-heads provided to you WITHOUT the pushrod hole drilled, you can then put the push rod where you want it, (using a shaft system), and you do not need the brass tube. The head gets wider because you were able to drill your own location in the solid casting material vs do a "work-around" with the brass tube insert. So yes, MIKE MAY NOT HAVE A WIDE PORT HEAD. He MAY have a Ported Normal head. He might still be running a shaft system but the offset will be restricted by the head and brass tube location. Tom Vaught

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
