V3 & V4 are the same, both run the shim in the top of the retainer with a bucket on top.
Best setup is to use newer age buckets with the shim incorporated with the bucket (1 piece).
To run these in V3/4 heads you have to modify & maybe look at top retainer to make sure shim of bucket doesnt foul retainer.
Is this the same build you contacted me on years ago?

yes. I thought one had the shim sitting under, the other on top? Is the cam profile the same?
What power have you seen from these heads Primeiro?

Are you concerned your engine power is going to exceed the capabilities of the heads!!!!
Glad your still @it and yes most of the time a project can mean years!
Both run the shim in the top retainer & I do not believe the v3/4 cams have any difference & if they do it would be next to nothing.
Tuners /some of my engines have seen over 700+bhp so they are the heads to have for a number of reasons.
However a lot of people have moved onto the VVC heads, you have more scope to tune in other areas due to the VVC.
Perfect for your setup & as you are aware the right parts with quality machining/engineering your onto a winner.
Keep @it.

Having a ready set of heads would help, whereas if I use the one's I have now I'd want new valve seals, re-lapping etc. I'd also be able to sell my engine complete a lot easier than just bottom end.
