Really nice guy who has worked on plenty of motors in his life. I just have to remove the head and take it to his shop since there is no space for cars in the place. He is going to be charging me $250 for a really nice clean up of the head, conversion and rocker arms being cleaned.
What sucks is he doesn't do any mild porting but said he has someone who does it but that person charges from $400 to $700. He suggests I skip this for now. He will do the 3 angle valve job along with anything else I need done to the motor. Although I may see what to do about the porting since he knew right away that the log head for the 200s are pretty bad.
He asked me if I will be installing a beefier cam and I told him I was going for a mild build so no need for a bigger beefier cam. He told me that if I do switch the cam, I will have to get the springs as well. I don't remember anyone saying that springs will have to be changed at all so that confused me. Will the springs need to be changed or is this him thinking I will be going with the strongest cam available? Like I said, I'm just trying to go for a mild build. If I do have to switch the springs, can someone give me some advice on which ones to choose?
I just now have to remove the head I just hope I will be able to do it since I want to try to do as much as possible on my own.
