I took the hard route and ported a set of 6X-4's for my 455 conversion. I ended
up with 9.5:1, which was my goal. In hindsight, buying a set of Edlebrocks
would have been a lot easier and not too much more expensive. I spent $200 for
the heads, about $600 in machine work, extra $30 for 1.77 exhaust seats, about
$50 for porting kit, who knows how much in electricity (took about 3 weeks in
the evenings porting), and then I had to buy all the parts (springs, retainers,
locks, seals, valves....about $250). On the upshot, I have bragging rights for
doing it myself, the knowledge gained, and I can still say it's
Pontiac....probably should have just bought the Edlebrocks, lol
