It's off of an '85 5000 turbo.  I haven't compared the volumes yet because
I don't have my old head back yet from the destruction shop.  I should be
getting it back sometime next week, though.

Great - at least he isn't a total unknown.  Thanks for the info.

>Just how cheap is he? 

He said $350.00 for a straight port/polish job on an Audi 5 banger head.
I might have him put in the 40mm intake seats for me as well - he said he
charges $18.00 per seat.  At those rates, I'll probably have him do the
valve job for me as well, but I haven't talked to him about price on that
yet.
