Speedmaster Small block porting tips and results Part 1

I would be shocked to think that you don't have a great idea of how much a full-port job would be on a set of heads? Valve grind everything that needs taken care of for an all-out effort...????.. without shipping back and forth of course?..


It depends on the heads Jpar. I wouldn't touch a set of CI heads for under 2500. And add in another 1000-1200 for the intake manifold.

A W2 head would start there and go up.
A W5 without welding would start at 1500 and go up depending on application and how much welding I had to do.

The PC/SM BBM heads I did were a 1K friend deal, and the 1200 dollar intake manifold port job I charged 500 bucks for made a 2200 dollar deal a money losing 1700 buck grindathon.

It can run higher, lower or anywhere in between.
