Head Porting - DFW Area

[Razorhorn]

I'm building up a 400 street / slight strip motor (whatever that means) and am trying to keep myself from blowing money right and left. I wanted a little port work done on a set of 6x 4 cast iron heads but didn't want to pay shipping 2-ways because I am cheap. My engine builder recommended a guy here in the Dallas area and I am pretty impressed with him. We haven't bolted the heads on yet, but I got them back yesterday. He told me it would take 4 weeks, actually took 3. The flow numbers are not spectacular, but I got more than I paid for, which was $400.

CFM @28"

Valve Lift 0.200
Intake - 145
Exhaust - 102

Valve Lift 0.300
Intake - 198
Exhaust - 132

Valve Lift 0.400
Intake - 242
Exhaust - 156

Valve Lift 0.500
Intake - 251
Exhaust - 170

Valve Lift 0.600
Intake - 254
Exhaust - 181

The fellow who did the work is a good, square guy which matters more than anything else to me. He's been recommended a few times here on this forum:

I'd say you did damn good for $400!

Another thumbs up for Lloyd Elliott. I met him when he was recommended to do my LT1 heads several years ago, he's very well known and accomplished in LT1 and LS1 crowd. Excellent customer service, honest, and always helpful with any questions. I recommend him highly and I plan to take him some cast iron poncho heads soon.

Excellent deal, I paid a grand for those numbers on my heads, Gotta love getting that kind of work for that good of a price.

He's got my 997's now. :thumbup:

This is great to hear. I am in the DFW area occasionally, and it sounds like I need to go visit Mr. Elliott. Great post - thanks for the tip.

I give another HUGE thumbs up to Lloyd Elliot. He just finished my KRE d-ports. Started out flowing 235 cfm and now flow 300cfm. All that for $400 and they were done a week earlier than I thought!
