a good port job will cost as much as a new set of higher flowing heads. $500 for a port job, or $750 for a set of brand new higher flowing heads, performance intake, and all realted stuff [vortec head combo from scroogin-dickey]

Tap the hole and rethread it. Or use the helicoil system they sell at auto parts store.
