Default how do i ???

port gt40p's. I just got my explorer motor and am looking to have the heads worked over. I am not by any means looking to spend 7-800$ on porting. (thats complete for washing, milling, porting.) but if I can port my self I will. is there a write up with good pics? or anyone local in nj area that would be interested in doing this?

I need to know some answers on this subject as well. I am in the process of finding heads and upper and lower intakes from an explorer. I just need to know how much I should plan on spending to get them ported.I am going to try and get some gt40 heads, not the gt40p's. Any ideas?

Good article with pics for a home port job. Also includes flow numbers and total cost when completed.
