Stated- "Think I'd be looking for someone familiar with the "real estate" though not mandatory if you have the right guy."
Agreed, not always mandatory. Nine years ago I bought a very early set of High Port castings and we had a fellow named Rick McConathy do the port work. Rick was well known for his Chevy cylinder heads and was associated with Naiser Racing Components in Houston, Texas at the time. I believe now his business is Slick Rick Racing Heads. These guys were well known and very competitive in Texas Pro Stock Racing circles.
On the first go around the heads were 403 cfm at 0.800" lift, later with additional work 412 at 0.850" on Jeff Naisers flow bench. On my engine builders bench they went 417 cfm at 0.850" lift. Later with these cylinder heads our 930 hp 526 cid Pontiac engine was pretty good stuff, today it's no big deal. Same with the heads.
