There is top end power to be gained by using the high port head, cams, and intake manifold. I think it is worth doing if you want the most power out of your car. There is no machine work involved at all.
You will need a few different things like a new throttle and cruise control cable, a new power steering pump and suction hose, PCV hose, and a new intake hose, just to name a few things.
While you have the head off, I would recommend at least replacing the valve stem seals and have the head inspected and cleaned by a machine shop. You may also want to have it resurfaced if it is not perfectly flat.
Always use new head bolts, too.
If you need this work done and you do not want to tackle this job yourself, PM me or e-mail me at jwhitely2000@yahoo.com
Good luck,
