No problem Gerrit. But no he is in Fenwick... He is the fella we are getting the SFC's done by. F-Bird88 speaks highly of him too...

your looking at about 500 or so depends on what you want done and if you want bigger valves( that cost more)

Why not do it yourself? Pocket porting is monkey work. It's the runner work that takes the skill and know-how. Check this out (bottom left corner)........

Word

If you are getting crazy on some cast iron, you will want to do the major stuff with a carbide burr... but other than that the standard abrasives step-by-step is an excellent resource.

Try Nick Agostino at http://www.agostino-racing.com.

They have a great reputation for making serious HP.
They have full-time guys that do the porting.

They quoted me about $1500 cnd for a full port with machining for screw in studs, new springs/retainers/locks for iron lt1 heads, said it would be worth 50-70 HP over stockers.

I'm sure it would be way less for just a bowl job.

They're in Pickering 1-866-539-4605.

I wonder if Agostino Racing would work on stock L98 heads and if it would be any cheaper? They seem to just focus in on LT1/LS1 motors.

Agostino focuses on LT1/LS1 but started off just like everyone else did before the LT1's & LS1's came out.

Agostino does very good early SBC's as well....

I think they're overpriced really, but they offer a no-hassle customer package & i guess that's what millionaires want

They're package do not fit my budget, that's for sure.
