Well Im going to take my 400ex to get ported, polished, and a 440 kit put in it(its a 416 right now) and I was wondering how much I should expect to pay for that?

:eek2: I want to live in that world.. lol.

Including parts and labor for a port/polish, new piston, sleeve, HD Stud installment, valve train work, a new cam, reshaping the combustion chamber, millwork on the piston, etc.. you'd better add a 1 in front of that number.. ;) Headwork alone (not including the price of a new cam) will cost you about $400-$500 dollars with a small amount of flowbench time.
