the question is how much money do you have?

Because some people like the simplicity of a reliable, OHV.


Ask a machine shop.

Got about 7 hundred to the side right now

Are u removing the cyl head or the shop? If you are you are looking @ $150-$200 for the port and polish, Install from a shop you will have to call a local mechanic for the his houly rate or job rate.

Port, polish, valve job, valvetrain install, with boring the block and balancing the internals and some install work (no removal) I was looking at around $7-800. This is from one of the best shops in AZ, so you should be covered unless you want a cnc p&p, then save up quite a bit more.

whats a cnc p&p? how is it different from a regular port and polish?

cnc = computer numerical controlled aka basically a big computer controlled mill
p&p = port and polished
moral of the story cnc p&p is getting your ports milled out and polished with a computer controlled machine

so, its just more consistant? or can it decide how big to open up the port based on flow, and desired rpm range too?

Another question I haven't seen a bigger throttle body or a intake manifoLd wouldn't I need that for the 2.2 otherwise everything is still going thru the small opening

if a shop can p&p a head, then they can bore a throttle body.

For a 2200 ('98-'02 2.2 OHV) get the TB from a 2.3L Quad4. The LN2 uses a 52mm TB, while the 2.3L used a 56mm TB. This is almost a direct replacement. There are plenty of threads outlining this swap.

i can do it for u, for what uve got saved up, it will come with valve job, resurface, assembly and return shipping is also included.

Be careful when it comes to P&P. Usually you get what you pay for. Go to the local track and get shop recommendations from the pushrod V8 guys running fast times. Finding a competant individual or shop to remove/port/flow/port/flow/port/flow.../machine/rebuild/install for under $1000 would be tough, so I suggest you at least take care of the removal/installation yourself. Get a service manual and do some reading if you need to.
If you're good with the hands-on stuff, I'd highly suggest doing some reading, getting a spare head and standard abrasives kit and giving it a shot yourself. The LN2 head is pretty basic.

CNC would run $XXXX to do a single head, it's meant for larger-scale production. A knowledgeable human's port job will outperform it as well.
