Default Worth Porting?????

Are heads of a 95 F-150 worth the time to port and polish them????
I have a set sitting in my garage collecting dust and wanted to see if they would be any good.

If they are just sitting around collecting dust, I would try to port them myself. If you mess them up, they were just collecting dust anyway. Thay are iron, right? It is allot easier to screw up porting aluminum heads because it goes allot quicker.

I've always wanted to try porting heads.

Or put them on ebay and sell them as is. Look at this site. http://www.sa-motorsports.com/diyport.shtm I was thinking about buying a junk head from a 4 banger from the local scrap yard to practice. At least give it a try.
