who's good at porting heads? ok here is the situation. i just got word about the motor from HPE 
. well i want to keep the old heads off the busted motor and get someone to port these out. i was hoping i could get them ported out to about a stg 3 size head for a fraction of the cost. so my point to this whole thread is who would yall recommend to port the heads out this big? or if it can be done. also what kinda heads components would i need. prolly use bigger cam so please keep ptv clearance in mind. thanks a million.

We have 2 different choices for 5.3 heads...
Our stage 2 heads flow right at 300 cfm, and sell for 1499. They come with Manley 2.000" intake valves, and Comp 918 springs.
Our stage 3 5.3 heads flow 330 cfm, and sell for 2195. They come with Rev 2.055 Competition Intake Valves Rev 1.57 Competition Exhaust Valves Ferrea Dual Valve Springs .670 Max Lift Ferrea Titanium Retainers Ferrea Radial Locks.
Since you are putting a stock shortblock back in your car, you will be limited to cam size. Our S cam is the biggest cam that we offer that will fit in the stock shortblock. With our stage 3 5.3's, we have seen 460-470 rwhp.
If you have any more questions just give us a call at the shop and we'd be happy to help you out.
