This has got some really deep bowls. Very nice. They are tight so I can definitely open them up to take advantage of the valve size

Nice ! I assume those springs are just for the bench.

This will be good!

Since the photos limit my observation, I have a couple questions.

1) I seems they sunk the valves into the seats deeper than I typically see. What do you think?

2) Can't see much of the port floor. Is the short turn as sharp as it looks?

Yes. There is room for improvement everywhere

The floors have a sharp turn to them

Got the intake bowls ported and polished.  The thing to remember is these flow numbers are via a port that is barley the size of a quarter

1 inch by 1.25

As you can see the flow has pick up decently

Looks like plenty of flow at the lifts near max valve lift.
Your work looks nice and clean.
