Massachusetts: engine porting.

I want to do a streetport when I rebuild my motor, anyone KNOW how to port, or know somoene that will do an excellent job?

Also, I am looking for someone experianced to help me rebuild my motor. I can't really offer much, but I will water and feed you. Yea, I'm really strapped for cash.

Do you have any junk parts I can practice on? Little to free cost? What type of template can you get me? It would be awesome if you can lend me a hand and show me how to do it. How long would you think it would take to do just the porting?

My 10AE has been down for a month or so now, so it wasnt me. But I was there just before the closed for the season last year. What are you driving? Where are you from anyways?

i have some junk s4 n/a irons you can have to practice on, and might have a junk rotor housing somewhere also

i have a racingbeat templet (bridgeport) and have some of my own which i made from refrencing photo's online and what i have seen inperson. i can show you how to make your own with some pelxiglass and just follow the guidlines for distance from or into cornerseal track and oil seal track, its really not hard at all

my FIRST successful port which was a bridged secondariy took about 3hours to roughcut and another 3 or so to get how i liked it, the second one took 1/3 the time, same for exhaust porting

i have a gold s4 gxl with a cosmo re, t04s, wolf3d bla bla. im from southern nh, work in epping nh. not to far from Mass.
