I personally wouldn't bother working on 806's. 243's with a good valve job and a little bowl blending can be a great bang for the buck....

I agree, the 243s would be a much better place to start. Just bolting the stock 243s on there should pick you up around 15rwhp.

Not hard, just very time consuming without pnumatic tools. I just ported some 241's that should gain you around 25rwhp and have them in the for sale section. Only asking $500 with valves and springs.
