port&polish

Has anyone ever done a port and polish job before? What are advantages and disadvantages? How hard is it to do? I was thinking about doing the heads for my 302.

not that difficult. No disadvantage unless you get really crazy. Check out Standard Abrasives website as they have a pretty good write up on how to do it, and they tell you what you need.

It's all advantages as long as you don't get carried away. The Windsor heads are choked on the exhaust side more than the intake, but both benifit from some mild porting. Smooth and blend the bowl area into the port, remove the air injection hump in the exhaust, smooth the port floor on the intake and do a 3 or 4 angle valve job.

Do the exhaust first and after your done and you still feel like it do the intake.
