Default Where to P&P 243s?

I have a set of bare 243 heads, where in DFW would be a good spot to take them to get P&P them and add new valves? Thanks.

Lloyd Elliott. He's in red oak. You can just drop them off at his place. He does awesome work.

It might not be local, but TEA's stage 2 243's have never not performed well.

Quality sometimes is the best factor.

Just call him. He's always willing to advise you to what you want/need done and will give you pricing. My brother had his 241's done with badass springs, new Manley valves, and a full port job for $1100. Price should be similar if not the same.

OP said he wanted PORTED and polished not just polished. So Lloyd would not be a good choice. There is a reason things cost more. I was just at Frankenstein Monday. You could slurp soup off the floor it's so clean in there. I don't see Lloyd doing any pro stock heads.

Advanced Induction has been good to me so far. Some ported 823's were worth about 30-35rwhp. Another set of ported 799's, also with a bigger cam and bigger LT's, were worth about 85-90rwhp.

I've also heard nothing but good from the Frankenstein heads.
