Default Is there a CNC head shop in Houston?

I'm looking for a Houston area shop that can do CNC head porting. I'm not looking to buy heads but rather to do some R&D work then get a program for the end result so that they can duplicate it with another set of heads.

Thanks
Vernon

Your best bet is to send it out. Companies like ET Performance and TEA can digitize your port for you. I don't know of a good local company that will digitize stuff for you.

LME has a nice CNC Bridgeport mill that could probably do it. Good luck on the initial cost though.

We're not in Houston, but we can probably help you with that. I guess your wanting to do multiple sets of heads correct? The digitizing part of all of this is what costs some $$, but if your doing it for several sets of heads then it's easily worth it

Great, thanks guys I'll check them out. Jason I'll give you a call. I'm needing to get a good idea on what it would cost to get a BBC type head that's already been fully CNC'd digitalized to make copys. That includes intake and exhaust ports and the chambers. Then of course the cost to have future heads done. This is on a production head and the CNC'd versions are no longer availiable so I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I'm just trying to make more to sell before they are all gone and used up.
