i think b russel's on to something. might be the best idea to just get a cheap stock jug off ebay and have em ship it to a builder then have it shipped to you.....
if you're gonna get a big bore kit, DEF get it ported. like stated earlier, a ported stock jug will easily out perform a non ported bbk. also, talk to kennedy_power, he is developing a ported 244 kit.
as for your work, there is a LOT more to redesigning the head than just making the dome bigger. you need to bring the squish band and angle down to exact (like thousandths of an inch) tolerances.
bringing up the exhaust port will increase the rev limit of the jug, but you need the width to be an exact percentage of piston diameter to properly utilize the engine's power. it's not a matter of just widening it a bit here and there. you need to make exact calculations.
like transfer timing, changing your transfers is critical for creating power, blowdown time, this is all calculated by crank degrees and gets way more complicated than i'm capable of keeping up w/, transfer roof angles also play a part....
and as for the intake. the stock intake unported flows more than you're able to use. you don't really have to do a whole lot to the intake. i believe the vf3 only flows about 10 more cfms than the stock intake can handle....
basically, my point is that having an experienced and knowledgeable builder (i always recommend kennedy_power) do your work will develop 10x more power than you can do in the garage.
