I started a thread maybe a month or two ago talking about at these new price levels it doesn't make sense to put money into cast iron heads especially when you can get a fully loaded set sent to your door for $703... I have way more into that into my 596 heads.. K line valve guides, stainless steel 202 valves, Crower Springs, chromoly retainers, competition valve job, a couple hours Shop Port time, plus days worth the porting of my own...
The only way of getting my money and time back out of them is to reuse them again on something else..

• What we don't know is if Speedmaster heads will ever be on sale again for 703 (40% off). So 703, as of today, is unrealistic. To buy today would be over 1100.00
• IF somebody has iron heads already and have good guides, I've never stuck much more than 175.00 in exhaust valves, springs, and porting stones. Just say'n.
• Look at the ET slips posted above, some without 2.02's. depends on what somebody's goal is as well.
