I have my head boxed up and it is shipping tomorrow to a quality machine shop that specializes in rebuilding performance LBCs. What I want is a list of printable articles to include in the box to convey to the machinist what exactly I need. I do know that I will be looking for 9.5:1 compression ratio, am installing GoodParts GP2 cam, will have chrome-moly push rods modified to the new head height with my roller rockers. No, I am not pulling the engine to install cam bearings. The machinist (CDA) will port and polish the head to improve overall breathing. This is the eleventh hour and I would like to stick a few articles in the box to look smart. That, and a few phone calls during the work should give me what I want. Why not wait to the last minute. It worked in college 40 years ago.

Bill:
Please make a report on the porting you anticipate. I understand the polishing to a high finish on the exhuast side with a matt finish on the intake side is the extream thing these days. I am curious about the removal of material other than burrs as part of the porting.
Thanks in advance
