Why the hell would you come into this mans thread and try to under sell his price? That sounds like some real shitty business to me.

Normally I would really question a "port job" for $200. I have seen so many people selling "ported heads", only to see that they hogged out the ports, but the bowls have not been touched at all. The valve guide/boss as cast, is still hanging down in there.

It looks to me like Harold is doing a real port job, not just some mickey mouse runner profiling/port matching. $200 is a steal for work like that.

Send a set of heads to a big name shop like Fox Lake, Chapman Racing, Bennett Racing and see how much it's going to cost to walk out with ones that are done right.

sl2Tuner, I too would like to see some pics of your work.

EDIT: I just saw this....VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Well of you want some advice from a Florida native. And someone who has been on Tr a long time. Posting on another members thread is not a good way to get the word out. Make your own post and go from there.

According to your shop forum...

Quote:

PORTING (NEED GOOD GASKETS WITH PARTS BEING PORTED)
aluminum heads and manifolds-$10 per port
iron heads and manifolds-$15 per port
throttle bodys-$20

So, GT40 heads are iron, with 16 total ports, x 15 per port = $240. Harold does it for $200. Where's the confusion? Hell, for $240, I bet Harold would hot tank 'em for ya.

...and before you start talking about your special pricing now in effect, Harold posted this ad 3 days before that was ever thought of.
