Alright, before anyone says "do a search", I did, couldn't find what I needed, which is a rundown of how and why to port a 200 head. I have it at the machine shop right now to be cleaned and CC'ed prior to the block machining, but I will be getting it back so I can work on it.
I am a machinist (aerospace, CNC mostly, hence the farming out of the engine work to a pro) and can use a dremel and have an idea of how motors work , but I need to know how to go about doing this, i.e., where to start, what needs to be done, etc. I have access to the proper tools, so all I need now is the advice on what to do. Plan for the motor is the 264/112 cam with a HW 5200 carb and a set of headers on a '66 200 from a Mustang to be put in my '64 Falcon. Let the arguing and nitpicking begin! Ask anything you want, I want to do this right the first time.
Also, what about aftermarket valves, tri-angle seats, etc. Is it worth the money and hassle for this motor, or is all that for racers and madmen? This is supposed to be a daily driver with a slightly enlarged pair of DNA silos.
Thanks!
Jim
