Default who can port 241 heads? cheaper?

Once I get my build going on the stock 346 I'll eventually be wanting some ported heads. I once had some ported CNC 241 heads and they worked good.

But, is there someone I can send some stock 241 heads and have them ported? I'm going to be safe & not try a DIY. With that being said, how much would they charge to port them? Or is my best bet to sell the stock heads and buy some heads already ported?

Thanks

All i'm going to say is don't skimp on your heads, it's the quickest road to disappointment.

I dunno, am I? This question gets answered almost every day, I bet you can find your answer in the first page of this section, but here I'll make it easy for you. Larry Meaux, Livernois, PRC, Patriot as well as *** tons of other ones, all the information you could want already exists here.

I tried searching a few times but I couldn't find the exact information I'm looking for. I know all of these sponsors I can buy a variety of heads from, but as for my question I didn't know if I could actually send them MY set of heads in and they return those same set of heads back to me ported for a charge cheaper than buying a new set of heads from them

There may be someone that is known in the area to the old head crowd that does this. You can also look at TEA or other sponsors. Click on the banners to go to the sponsors websites.

We will be glad to port your heads and return them to you. To CNC port, perform our 5 angle valve job, hand blend, mill per your specs and flow, you will be looking at $650.00. If you have any questions, please let us know.
