If your buying the 243s and then sending them out to get ported look into buying a set of Trickflow 220s as cast heads as I bet the price will come out to about the same, just order the heads with powdered valve guides to run stock rockers

As cast 220 trickflows touched up by Brian Tooley are the best bang for the buck.
