Give Ai a call for one of their h/c packages.

its pretty easy and straight forward. like said get a haynes manual. the bad thing about the manual is it will tell you to do alot of things to do that makes it "easy" but time consuming. i pulled my heads with studs, engine in the car in about 4 hours. just take your time and stay organized.

Unless you're a professional and have all of the proper tools and experience, I wouldn't try porting your heads yourself. It's an artform and takes years of experience. You're better off sending them to AI or LE.
