Is there any way of telling that the stock heads were ported or not cause the guy said the stock heads are ported and so is the stock intake? thanks for any help given.

Only if you take them off but I would not pay more $$$ for the car because of it.

It may give you a clue if you remove the headers and look at he exhaust side of the heads.

There is no way of looking at them and telling if it's been ported or not. Don't pay any more just because he or she say it's got a ported intake. Ask to see the receipts for the parts and/or work that has been done. Good Luck!!!
