Quote: That is to do them, assuming there are no cracks and they are still good enough to be done. you aren't getting much for 800 bucks unless the head porter only charges 5 bucks an hour . in my area that 800 is for a basic rebuild with all new parts on bare castings

How much Horse power can you typically gain from fully ported heads? Engine is a 440. I had a set of ported 452 heads from Line Performance (Jason Line, before the Prostock days)13-14 years back. Not to much to pick from back then. Eddie RPM's were a new thing, and 440-1 heads from Indy were just to much money. I think I had about $1500 or so into the 452's. Eddie RPM's fully ported will out flow fully ported 452's. 452's fully ported should push 600 HP in a 440. $800 is a good deal if they are in good shape and flow what you need. Have them flow tested. What is the combo your building? Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

The ports looked fantastic but the flow bench revealed an insignificant improvement over as cast. Any reason you are not considering a new set of stealth heads? Keep old mopars alive.
