my dad is going bonkers!

he turns 70 later this year & has bought a big solid roller cam, built a 406 shortblock, & bought an s10 for the motor to go in. he also bought some AFR's, 210's with comp porting. what's the difference between the race ported ones & the comp ported ones. will they need any additional porting?

Here's a post from speed talk that might help...

It;s under 500, but Gen I heads can be converted. Most of the larger machine shops that mess with Lt1s can convert a set for you.
