    questions..head work, cam sizes...etc

    I wouldn't pay for porting unless they are going to put it on a flow bench and do it correctly. Sounds like the machine shop is going to smooth out your bowls and unshroud your valves, it would help but isnt prolly needed on your build. Gasket match it yourself and save yourself decent money.

    Questions on broken np205

    I have heard of people breaking the rear housing on the t-case before just from breaking a u-joint. They are doing truck pulling and thats all they use it for. They put on a billet rear housing cover or whatever you want to call it.

    adding Guide Plates

    If you pull the heads off you will need to replace the head gaskets then. I would figure out exactly what you want to do to your motor or what you expect out of it. Rather then paying for something twice or not using it after a few months. If your going to pull them off I would have them checked...

    adding Guide Plates

    If you want after you get the guide plates put in you can. If it was me I would call a local machine shop and talk to them, not sure how much it is , or what is involved to get guide plates put in.

    adding Guide Plates

    I believe all center bolt style valve cover heads use a self aligning rocker arms. If you put in the guide plates then you will have to get new non self aligning rockers.
