I am about to get a rebuilt head and want to get it ported by someone who knows how to do it, and knows something about 2.3s. Anyone know anyone near Delaware, like Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, that does head porting at a decent price?

I don't know about price but Fred House of House Power Engines does fabulous work. He has an 8 Sec. 2.3 turbo Probe. I'll get the contact info tonight.

On Edit: Depeneding on the price of the rebuilt head and then all the porting(might as well go big valves then too) work you might be better off just getting the Esslinger aluminum head for $1500 and then all you would need is a cam.

Remember, the port job is only as good as you pay for.
