I ported My lower myself and did a decent job, but I guarantee this guy could do better. He's done a buttload of em.

I'm currently working on my H.O. upper and lower.Port and polish,then polish the outside for looks.I did that outer polish on my SO upper intake.It's for sale now.I'm using my Mark VII upper now,and the porting I'm doing is on a '93 Mustang unit for my H.O. engine swap.Good luck with yours.Take your time.

I have been doing my own porting for a few years.
I use to would for a builder that did thunder car motors and hydroplane drag motors.
I learned more in 6 months with him then i did in school thats for sure.

But there are lots of good books that cover basic porting and race porting.

I think that's true with almost anything. Once you start using something that you learned in a practical application it just seems to come together.
