While I'm at work I got some questions for anyone to answer... I'm considering pulling the motor, now I have no profound reason to do this, I'm curious about a couple things,
What would a roundabout cost be for machine work on a good head? Port and polish, maybe mill the intake side and port and polish and maybe oring? Haven't decided between oring or an mls gasket with 625 studs...
I know the motor will be 5-6k to rebuild properly so I'm debating on the idea of pulling the motor simply for cost reasons of the motor and head work...

I think most performance places charge between 1,500 to 2,500 to port and do a head. Something to keep in mind though is that most places 2.5 doesn't allow an individual runner intake and you would have to go with the shelf style intake like B&B Tooling makes if you do decide to mill the intake off.

Well my schedule won't allow me to pull in one organization, but I know that a runner intake is not allowed, but I know of some individuals milling the intake off and still having a semi stock appearing intake that so far has passed inspection... any insight on this?

Well, after some deliberation, it was decided to swap the cab out for one with no rust, unfortunately I couldn't find a 3/4 ton cab to swap across so I'll be using a half ton cab... so now this project is practically a full restoration... great... lol oh well though, at least I enjoy it!

Reason being?
I've heard a few say not to do it so the frame will still be able to flex and not lift the front end as bad.
That your thinking?
Sorry to hijack.

A 2.5 truck doesn't need it.

Even at a 800-900hp range? I assume your answer is based on a 2.5 truck being a lesser HP class.
I've been debating on whether or not I need to box mine...not sure at what point it should be considered.

my goal is 700-800 out of my 2.5 truck for next season and I thought it that level you have to box the frame in

The only reason I was going to box the frame, simply because doing a cab swap, hopefully be the only time I have to cab off to where it is readily available... I understand the 2.5 truck being underpowered and it may not be necessary... but! This truck won't see the road after this build a purpose built fun toy, with the cab off, my thought process to boxing the frame,
But! For an update, I'm gone two weeks - home two weeks, so I don't get to work on it much, it's still sitting there just like the above picture.... debating on pulling the motor to rebuild it or pull the head to check for piston cracks... I'll start welding hopefully by the end of the week though...
