My question is when you have a set of heads fulley ported and polished should have 4 to 5 threads showing inside the combustion chamber
 
When I got my heads back from the porter I was looking at the combustion chamber. I screwed in a spark plug and there was 4 to 5 threads showing in side the chamber

you probably have the wrong plug.
 
LA or B? you want the spark kernal in the cylinder, not the plug threads.
 
Agreed, a shorter reach plug would be what you are after.
 
My bad, I thought your plug was down in the hole. You need the right plug reach.

I just found a pairagraf in Max Performance Mopar that said this was done by bad machining

I think you might have misunderstood what you read, because there is no machining done on a port job or head shaving that involves the plug reach.
You need a 5/8 reach instead of the 3/4 is all.
 
No they remove the hump that covers the spark plug inside the combustion chamber
 
I don't think they make a plug in in that length any way now the chamber is not 84 cc
 
Did they remove the plug "bump" like this one? Try a NGK BPR5HS plug with a 12.5 mm reach instead of the "3/4" (19mm) reach 440source head.
