I have a set of 440-1 heads that I would like to get brought into 21st century.
Heads were originally ported/flowed by Muscle Motors in 2001, I am attaching the flow sheet.
I had to practically beg them over a 2 month time frame to send me the flow sheet. I have always had doubts that it is really the flow sheet for my heads, and not just one they pulled out of their files and sent me to get me off their back.

I have called and emailed Modern Cyl Heads, and Chad Speier but I guess they do not need any more business as they never returned my call or emails.

Heads are on my 500 cu. in. 8.71 blown/injected, on alcohol, dragster.

So I am looking for a good head guy.

Thanks
Dave

Nick Jr. at Compuflow did mine. I'm really happy with them.

You might try Self heads in Oklahoma. I know he has done some Indy BB mopar heads

Dwayne Porter member here, fast68plymouth

Jr. is a very bright young man and he really paid attention when his father taught him how to port heads and build engines. If he is too busy Bart Anderson is very good too and he also learned some tips from Nick to make Indy heads flow nice.
If you wan't more info send me a PM so I can get your info to either of these gentlemen.

Gus

X2 And I'm sure you should get detailed before and after reports that are for YOUR heads.

Give some consideration into stepping up to a 2.250 intake valve when you send them out. I ported the set I am putting on a 505 and they are flowing great but I want to see how close to 400 cfm I can get them to. The 440-1 heads get a weight break as the B1 heads do not so I’m curious how far I can get them.

If they were my heads they would be on the way to Porter Racing Heads in VT. If that is too far away from you then you might consider IMM in Indio, CA or Fastlane Machine in Utah.

Dewayne Porter, Porter Racing heads.
He answers his phone, he does what he says he will do.
Right kind of Guy.

Dwayne Porter all the way excellent customer service.

If he has to put them in a box and ship,PORTER might be $40 more in shipping,,,or less they are aluminum
Define too far..........

Mine went to modern, but I dealt with Scott brown. A lot easier than dealing direct with modern.

Id agree on AndyF post, all 3 are good, I'd talk with Fast first, he has the best rep for finishing them when he tells you

Dwayne did my 440-1’s. Excellent job. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
My EZ-1’s were done by Nick Sr. Did not know his son took over after he passed away.
That’s good to hear that the family business is still going.

Porter would be my choice.

The Goodwin raised port indy heads sold by Best Machine would be something I would want if my wallet would allow

Yep Dwayne Porter as you he is one of the best there is or he is the best. And as stated he answers his phone and is a great person to deal with. Ron

Dwayne is the man, very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Won’t blow smoke up your dress either. Jim.

Dwayne told me years ago to send my Eddy RPM to Modern for CNC porting, that was before Jeff passed away
I had him do several CNC porting on some B1-BS and some other 440-1 , all ran good on the motors
Bob has told me several years ago that he is very busy now and the normal porting delivery time is about 3 to 4 months out after he receives them
I tried a local roundy round race machine shop in Vancouver, WA last year on one of my own street motors and ended up being very disappointed on a set of 440-1 that I wanted them to replace the valve guides and anything else they needed, they came back with the guides way looser than I like or expected They had done some other street motor head work for me in the past that was good, not anymore now
My message is go for the best you can get when it comes to head work, just like brain surgery

Yes,there are several porters around,I feel that the porting procedure is only part of the picture! Dwayne will not only port and flow your heads,but help you with the entire package.Match a cam and the right springs to your heads,better off letting him assemble the head !!!

I have already decided to go there. Valves in hand..

Dave

Thanks for the recommendations guy's.

I spoke with Dwayne and had a good talk about my issues. It seems it would be a waste to mess with these heads so he saved me some money on these..lol

Good guy to talk to. I'll send out my next set of heads to him.

Dave

Lots of cylinder head guys out there. If you want hands down the BEST then I would talk to Tom Slawko at Slawko racing heads. Self Racing Heads is another very good shop. The aforementioned shops I am sure also do very good work. Dwayne is always highly spoken of, and I have had some stuff done by CompuFlo and it was nice.

Dwayne Porter FTW

Dwayne Porter! Superb porting, always willing to discuss engine builds and devotes his time, and his word is GOLDEN , in my experiences. Mine would be off to him

Dwayne Porter. Did my Indy's and my brothers Edelbrocks. Answers the phone, willing to talk to you about your concerns. Gets stuff done when he says it will be done!

Those flow numbers are very similar to my Edelbrock Max Wedge heads cnc'd by Hughes Engines.

We're you looking for improvements beyond what he considers cost effective for those heads?

Dwayne did my X heads, very happy with the work and his patience answering all my questions. He consistently offers well thought out advice on this and other boards I have been on. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him.

How many vendors still come om here and POST. Jump in on conversation and give UNsolicited advise. Not too many left!!

Shane Studley (Percision Cylinder Heads) Is in Cedar City Utah....

Shane and his Dad specialized in NHRA stokers and SS, not all out street motors usually
I used Don on some of my iron heads for street and strip a long time ago, several years before he moved to Utah and passed away
Al Etter moved 1/2 a block down the street from me in Hesperia before we moved up here to Oregon
My how time has flown

Dwayne Porter for sure. I’ve been using him for over 15 years and very happy with everything he’s done for me. He does fantastic port work, but also extremely informative, honest, quick and fair.
