  Check out www.hughesengines.com. They have some info there about their
porting and some prices too. They also offer cams which are supposedly a
lot better than the "generic" cams that you can get through crower and the
like. (something about a fast rate of lift or something) I don't know if
its true or just marketing hype, but the site might help to answer some of
your questions.
