damn!! I will be having my back worked on at that time.
let me know when you go down there and I will meet you there.

Peace!!

I will be going again on tuesday during the day and might swing by on a friday.

So what is the cost of this?

Juan

for porting, polishing, getting some good valves, springs measuring em, and a whole lot of other shit he said it would be anywhere from 1200-1400 and i think that includes matching the intake but not sure.



haha, you don't wanna know
Pictor, can't wait to see the finished product!! I'm going to need some slight machine work done soon too, I just bought a 3.2 for my SHO

Sure you want to know....but first i would have to know. Didn't you have a 3.2 already for your sho a year ago somewhere?

I came () this close to buying 2 different ones but never did. This one I actually HAVE now lol. Its sitting at my dads work, and I just ordered about 500 bucks worth of gaskets for it hah. The question is, when will I have all the parts/money necessary to actually put it IN the car lol.

Gasket matching is a plus....Worth in or around 17% total if you can beleve it.
If he doesnt do them. You can. Its not that difficult if your decent with a die grinder line it up properly and take your time.
I believe its worth the time.
I P&Ped my own heads-im not trying to honk my hooter. Im just that cheap.(ok more time than money)
And "General" stiffed me so I put the $$$$ in the trans.
LOOKS GOOD Picter. Was that a "line hone"pictured. YOU assembling or you letting them do it?
If your doing alot to the heads make sure you get them FLOWED so you can see where your time and $$$$ is. It sould only be $30-40 per head. Its so worth Knowing though.
Its not bad practice to see how they flow before you port either-im not directing this to you though. Its done.
