Good mild 318 build plan?

Well, I already have the TQ sitting in my garage that just needs to be cleaned a bit; I also have a new rebuild kit for it. If it was out of tune all I'd need would be some metering rods or jets from DemonSizzler. I don't think those other carbs are bad, I just don't see the need to buy one.

Also, what are anybody's recommendations on head work? How should I port them? Is there literature out there that shows the basics of head porting? Or should I just get a valve job and toss them on?
