Port and polish
What can I expect to pay to get my head ported and polished?? I was thinking also of getting bigger valves like 202/195 what would I be looking at price wise?

For the price of a hand port/polish you can almost get into a set of alum CNC'd heads that are ready to bolt on.
But since you asked for a price, I would say a decent job will run you well over a grand..

1/5th the price? point in the direction of some brand new 416 heads that are 1/5 the price. Thought not

used? wow somebody got over
heres some large port vortec heads brand new complete for $499.99
http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/3129...inder-Head.htm
heres some standard port vortec heads brand new complete for $489.99
http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/3129...inder-Head.htm
course theres the added cost of a vortec intake manifold or you could use a standard one for a raised runner now as well since the heads have both bolt patterns.
But ya, i doubt you can find brand new complete 416s for 100 bux. Or even 200. Plus the vortec head design is light years ahead (no pun intended).
