Here's what I got quoted at the only engine shop that I could find that might be able to help with a port and polish:

"We do all types of engines including foreign, marine , race , etc.
We would be glad to help your project. Porting and polishing is on a time only base @ 65.00hr. A basic port match runs about $150.00. A complete intake port and polish could reach $400.00 to $500.00. If I can be of more help please call or e-mail"

Too much? I kind of want to trust them, because they seem like experts (they build V8's from scratch and can pretty much do anything engine related).

AF/X UDP, Rear STB, Powerslot rotors, RRE SS Brakelines.

Did you ask them if that price includes the Vasoline and something for the swelling?

yeah I thought ard does it for 150 bucks or so
and extrude hone does it for like 300, and thats a perfect port/polish job cause they flow abrasive sludge through the manifold

the v8 shop is mostlikly quoting u for somthing that they really dont understand, that is over priced for the product if u chould show them how small and easy it is to port our intake theyd probably not charge u as much as what a v8 intake would take them to do ? i bleeive that the v8 port match at 150$ isn't bad and port and polish the intkae for 4-5$ for a v8 sounds close to normal

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

yeah.. i recomend you just call/email ARD and see about having them do it for you. That price is ridiculously high and you can get extrude honing for less than that..
