SM Head Modifications on a budget

@Earlie A thanks for doing this work. It's very illustrative to me. My takeaway from this is that, for the average joe, there's better ways to spend time and money than trying to amateur port a set of heads. Just an awful lot of work for what amounts to maybe 10-15 CFM. I still believe this is a job best left to a professional.

Now....if we could get some old fashioned porting templates to take care of some of this... that would be a different deal altogether. But until that time comes, I'll just look elsewhere.

If the plastic templates were available, do you think people would use them? The templates would have to be on the conservative side (to reduce porting mistakes) which would limit flow to say 270ish. We make CNC templates like that in our shop fairly often, so the work would be in digitizing the port on the front end. Making the gauges is easy. I just wonder if people would really use them vs the ease and safety of ordering a CNC head.
