If the name that got passed to you is Greg Coen, stay far, far away from that guy. He's all talk and ego. Plus, he blew up my motor and told me to have a nice life.

I did think about it, but I'm just not sure if I would be ahead of the game oppossed to having a speciality shop do the work..?? I'm all ears though.....

Well today I did some calling around on what to expect for head work. First one quated me $600 for stock specs and $900 to port and polish. Another well known shop told me for for that kind a money they better be gold plated! He told me worst case scenario $300 and that ported and polished. This seems like a no brainer to me..?? So now I need to make up my mind on whether or not to step up the cubic inches. He told me that 95 cubic inches would be plenty, especially if I want to keep the longevity. I'm going to get some prices on rings and pistons tonight.
