Don't know, Jared just liked the idea of a black block. This is not a restoration so some leeway allowed.
The GTS head (12G940) was a clean unmolested one and needed new valve guides and valve stem seals. It was given a slight skim for trueness.

It was stripped to bare metal and also got the high heat primer and 2K gloss black treatment.
