cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

Thanks for all the debate folks.

I guess when we ask what its going to cost to rework cast iron heads, that's when it'll make sense or not to go with Eddy's. I'm not going to waste money for no reason. If we're even close to the same money, that's fine.

I'm just having a hard time grasping the idea that porting some X/J heads w/big valves already in them is going to cost me $2500. But if that's the case, then $1500 heads + $1200ish port work seems like a better option, with an added benefit of looking sexy to boot. As well as the chambers, etc.

Cam's and rockers are just expensive. Blech. But to get where I want its a necessary evil, and that's ok. I'm prepared for that.
