Default well i finally got them....

just got a set of 5.3 heads off of a 2003 truck....paid 100 bucks for them, now i need to figure out who can i port them....i asked this before...and i remember someone qouting 400 and 1000 dollars....i honestly want a good port but it doesnt have to be a big job...i dont feel comfortable myself porting them, as i would anyones TB.....soooo i need some input again

also....i will be getting a 224/224 or smaller cam with .580 or less lift....so with that i was wanting to know what springs i could use....i know comp 918s would be my best bet....but i also have an option at a set of 03+ls6 springs for DIRT cheap....pretty much a "get rid of" item from a friend.....soooo input on that setup would also be nice......thanks fellas

CNC Machine in St Petersburg does good stuff. Do a search in your area for head porting services.

Call around to some machine shops that do performance work and ask who they recomend for head porting. There has to be somebody in the area that does it.
