Are there any head porting services that are set up for porting iron Max Wedge 518 heads? Factory or reproduction.

Not that I've heard of. There are some places that do iron heads, but there probably isn't enough demand for a Max Wedge program to justify the time and money. And just because there might be one doesn't mean it's right for everyone.

there is a Guy i think out of Michigan that is CNC porting 906 heads.he might be able to. sorry i cant remember his name, but i can ask my friend what the company's name is.

Might be Modern Machine in Mich

MCH on facebook shows them CNC a 906 head.

well that's who i thought my friend was talking about. but i was wrong. My friend was talking about KG Engines, they are out of Ohio

Good luck with MCH. I have a friend that has a set of small block 308's a Victor manifold and special order HS rockers that have been sitting there for a year. Every time he calls about his parts he gets the run around. That is a lot of money to have sitting on some ones shelf. Poor customer service.

Misery loves company. I have $4k tied up in some aluminum SS Hemi heads for over a year. Bob doesn't even tell me where they are in the queue. A little communication would be nice, a quick e-mail every other month would be nice.

try hemphill he would have one

The probability of a CNC program for iron Max Wedge is small and the probability of it being better than a hand ported set done by an accomplished porter is even smaller.

KG engines in Ohio 419 806 5870, has a max wedge CNC program for the 906

What?

I'd go along with that.

And since the boys at LaRoy Racing seem to love porting iron stuff...... I nominate them !!

My friend is runing a set of KG CNC ported 906 and told me he is going to get a set of there max wedge CNC ported 906 next. He has been ran 10.40 at 130 in the 1/4 on E85 so far.

I seem to remember that the intake gaskets for the M.W. are taller than the 440 are, in other words laying the M.W. gasket over the 440 I can see air between them, no sealing that way

It works like this......

I have seen two wicked set of ported irons--one from Laroy and the other is Mike Duke in Indy--Duke used to do all the "Herb" heads from McCandless--maxed out irons--thing of beauty I will add that the valve job is of supreme importance and I always get more from a real perfect valve job than crazy ported with medium valve job
Actually the valve job is the most over looked thing we all deal with and seem to--- talk about and care about least of all--a REAL mac daddy valve job makes a high performance engine IMO
Duke was King of the perfect valve job on irons

KG engines mills off the raised portion of the intake on the stock head,makes his own cnc valley pan to accommodate gasket sealing on both sides for the taller port
Saw the head at chrysler @ carlisle this year a real nice looking piece of work

From what I understand.......Curtis Boggs used to do them for McCandless as well.
