Total "bill of material" for Aluminum head swap / Advice on where to save $ welcome...

This is what I have as a BOM for an aluminum head upgrade...I'm leaning toward the new Trickflow heads as I'm under the impression that the Edelbrock castings really need to be cleaned up before they can be used which adds time and wipes out the price difference...

I have to be honest that I thought it could be done cheaper. This is encroaching on Blueprint engines crate motor territory after factoring in the sale of the stock/healthy Magnum long block (and the many hours of labor that I will put into the install). Any advice is welcome regarding this BOM.
