Port/Polish heads, How Much?

[Mr. Unknown]

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get the cylinder heads Ported and Polished? No labor for taking them off or putting them back on just the Machining.

Is there enough material to make a difference. Would you see a large gain on a car with a 2.6 KB @ high boost with cams? With supporting mods.

Please do not say,

"just port your blower" or anything like that I'm only concerned with the above question.

Thanks in advance.

$1,100 for an awsome port and polish on the 99-04 cobra heads and still using the stock valves and springs, 10th03cobra(jeff) is having my budding build his motor!!!Eddie

So he is in the process or it has been done?

 

[venmousracer]

he is in the proccess, actually the motor is almost done, I was over there picking up some parts for a project of mine, 6.0 LS1 in a 93 notchback mustang.......... My buudy uses Rich from RGR racing awsome builder, ask speed inc etc... for references about Rich...Eddie

The motor is done and I am picking it up this week. I don't think I got the port and polish job though. This is the one for Michelles car.

Edddie, how did the motor look?

No.

If you're rebuilding the motor just have them cleaned up, thats it.

the supercharger controls the amount of airflow on an engine with a positive displacement supercharger. not the valvetrain or cylinder heads.

if you have too much money you could always give it to me

 

[venmousracer]

I must agree if you are still using a positive displacement blower forget the port and polish job, a waste of money, now if you were going turbo or supercharger then it would be worth it...

Jeff, I am glad you guys were able to hook up with mu buddy Brett and Rich they do good work!!!! The motor is almos done it looks stock.... My motor is on the stand waiting to be put back together....Eddie

When I was doing my shortblock... I looked into redoing the heads, and it just wasn't worth it. I believe the quote was around $1,200 or $1,300

but from everything I read, the gains would be very very small.. definitely not worth it on our cars.

there is a guy named Dale in Freeport that does all the import heads for larger shops in the area not sure of his pricing but does a kick ass job, he did the heads on my 98 cobra when i had it e-mail me for the number I have to call a friend for it [email protected]

i have the cam timing tools and the valve spring compressors and will bring them over, if you want.

Well my plans for the car are eventually a high boost KB. I don't want to go into TT set up's becasue from my understandings there is a lot that can go wrong.

I am no where near the money now. How come the LS1 guys beifit so much from a cam and head swap? My guess is displacement?

Take your pick....a set of $2500-$25,000.00 heads, or a blower, nitrous, turbo....that's why.

$25,000.00 is just an exagerated way of implying that great heads cost a fortune. The more the heads breathe the more boost you need, so you would not actually be able to appreciate all of the bigger blower afterwards.

FWIW a ported set of the new 3V heads flow just as good if not BETTER than our almighty 03-04 Cobra heads. A couple of lumpy cams and better springs on a 3V would be good Idea. I'm guessing $3500-$5500. Hopefully I am way off.
