In my experience with the 4V 4.6 head I found that Sean Hyland does really good work, you will pay for it but they specialize in 4V 4.6 engines. One down side is they are in Canada. I am sure that there are many other reputable places out there that can do a very good job. Check references! I mean REALLY check. Do not take even my word for it. Remember the advice you get on the internet is usually worth what you pay for it! So do your own homework (this is a start). For the cost of these heads you do not want some one messing them up.
Another point to consider, WHY are they being ported? They flow like gangbusters stock. Unless you are going to make massive H.P. it may not be necessary at all.
Keep in mind what the end result really is. If it is a street car you really do not need to mess with the heads. For the money you will spend you may be better off applying the $ elsewere.

In my opinion, DO NOT deal with Power Heads based out of California. I have and the experience was TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
They messed up a set of 5.0 heads so bad they had to be thrown away. What a waste of $700.00
If you want the particulars e-mail me and I will be glad to "share " my experience with them in detail. All documented!
