porting & polishing intake and porting throtle body

hey guys. the intake on my bird now has a light porting job done on it. the intake is an ugly grey. i got another intake off my parts car today and i started to port it today. i was also going to paint it red to match the car. i was using wizard rotary tool with a buffer on the end. it was getting the crap off the runners but is that the proper way to do it? how far down in the runners should i port and polish? i also got a new throtle body. i want to get that ported. where can i get that done? alls im replacing is the top and middle intakes. well i had it all torn down i wanted new fuel injectors. will a set of accel 30 lb/hr work on are 2.8's

The way I did mine was started with 300 grit paper drums. went to 180? grit. came out nice and shiney... Also did 89RSCamaro's bottom runner like that too.. he seems to like it so far! Jk

hey i love that porting deal....

are u talkin of porting and polishing hte inside ??or outside
u dont need to port the outside...lol


well inside u start with 60 grit and go to 80 grit...
yep get a flex shaft attach for the rotary i borrowed camaro_hunters its a nightmare w/o that...

i ported like 2mm it took me close to 7 hrs...

and i dont think u need 30lbs
19lbs is what chd has and what ive just won in an auction in ebay

its ford 19lbs that should be fine ...i won injectors for really cheap i need to get them blueprinted though

305 tpi injectors are 19#, 350 TPI are 22#. f*rd mustard
injectors are usually cheaper than the gm equivilents.
