Best Bang for the Buck Head???

Sounds like a cam change, possibly a solid, is coming in the works too. Suddenly that 400-500 port job has jumped up another $200+ with springs/retainers/locks/seals. Maybe surfacing, etc.

Now how would the $ work out if he sold those X heads to a resto crowd since they are unported. Last set I saw that were relatively fresh got over $500. Suddenly the out of pocket isn't that much of a stretch. Comparable to the shelf vs custom converter deal. Sometimes the cheap comes out expensive and doesn't work as well.

Evan is a smart guy and will make an educated decision which works best for him. Since he mentioned all the options, it's apparent that ALL those are in play at this point in his decision making process.

Pick your parts, pay your money
