Dan, there is a shop up in Vancouver, Canada that works on Foci that may be able to help you out. It is the same group that shoe horned a CSVT engine into a ZX3. I'd talk to them about the head work, I'm sure they probably know someone that would be able to do the work you're looking for.
The shop is ZX3 Tuning. I'd get in contact with them and find out what they recommend. That would probably be easier then shipping your heads off to some place here in the US and paying more then you have to for it.

Dan-Kershaw Performance in Langley has a flow bench and across the the street from Kershaw is Thunderbolt Engines.Thundebolt built a Ford 302 derivative for me this year for a street car that dyno'd at 424hp[at 6000 rpm] and 406 lbs torque[at 3600 rpm].Kershaw flowed the heads for this application. Thunderbolt has built or machined four motors for me over the last 11 years.It was good to see you at the Brown Bros. open track day in September. Alex

here it is..
The paint job ended up costing $300.. OUCH 
But they matched it perfectly and I'm happy with the end result.
Anyone want to buy my old trunk?...

That looks really good Shaun! Any reason you didn't get the lower mesh part painted too? I was busy the other night driving this beauty around:  MMMM, I do have a feeling one of my next cars will be a BMW. I've rode in a couple 325is' before, but the M3 is a totaly different beast. You can definitely tell they designed a race car, then made it driveable on the street. It is pretty raw, made the Contour feel like a luxury boat.

uhh cause I'm not very smart. It never occurred to me.
I drove a friends 1998 M3... all I can say is wow!
But I like the earlier body style better. Looks like fun and man, can those old BMWs be fast!
