my stage II includes everything except parts.
valve job, cleaning, hone guides, back cut valves, assembly, porting, and a flow test.
i get 45/hr for porting.

for a set of SR's, thats $800.
the whole port gets reworked, and on these heads i spend quite a bit of time trimming down the guide bosses and trying to get the intake short turns right.
i figure on about 13.5hrs for the porting portion of this job, which is basically a mild full port job.

IMO, this is how much work it takes to make a worthwhile improvement in flow over basic bowl porting/gasket matching.

on the 17hr type job for the 440-1's, what would the finished runner volume be??
and if i read that right....at $80-100/hr you'd get $1360-1700 for fully hand porting those heads.

i havent done too many of the 440-1's, but it takes me about 22hrs to do them, and the intake runners end up at about 335cc's for that level of work.
i havent figured out how to get the chips to come out any faster than that.
