Head and cam selection help for 440

Post 35

As for sending the stock heads to me......
That def wouldn’t be my first choice(or tenth choice) for “bang for the buck”.

If the starting point is stock 452 heads, the first step up is buy some porting tools and bowl port them yourself(a few hundred $$)

2nd- Stealths ootb($1000)

3rd- E streets ootb($1200)

4th- Stealths with valve job and bowls blended($1500)

5th- E streets- prepped/blended($1800)

6th- if you need heads better than 5th.... the next logical step is moving up to TF’s.

Depending on how much porting is done, along with correcting any other issues, and shipping iron heads two ways, reworking the stock heads can easily cost (way)over $1000(plus shipping two ways..... over $200)

And for anywhere near $1200 total cost, they won’t be as nice of a bang for the buck as the ootb E streets that are under $1200 with free shipping from Summit.

The “lower cost” option for the stock heads is to find someone local-ish who dabbles with it on the side and just charges less $$/hr to do the work.
If you can get something done for $4-500, and not have to ship them....... that’s probably about the least you’ll spend(other than learning to do them yourself).
PRH, as far as E-heads Prepped and blended, what exactly does that mean, porting or?
