Well.....despite never doing engine work other than headers, I tackled the ported head install today. From the time I pulled into the bay at the auto hobby shop till I left, it was 6 hours. Got everything off, cleaned the block, got the new heads on and torqued down. A friend of mine was helping me who had never done engine work before either. I'm pretty happy that I got so much done in such little time. Finishing up tomorrow. Looks like the hardest part will be remembering what hose goes where and making sure everything is hooked up. Also, installed a 170 thermostat today too. While the plugs are out, bought some new ones that I'll index thanks to a suggestion by Jeff Boyette.
