Home porting Cast Iron heads
Well since Ive had nothing but time on my hands lately, its given me time to plan the direction for my ole '80.
Originally I wanted to rebuild a 400 for it but I got to thinking about time and money and came to the conclusion that it would be more economical and maybe faster to just refresh the original 350 motor thats already in there.
I want it to breathe better since the plan calls for a matched cam and lifters for the 2101 intake thats on the engine and I know that porting can do that.
Has anyone tried this at home or would I be better off to just take them to a machine shop (Im also thinking of port matching the intake and whatever headers I plan to use.)
