Unless you want to step up to aftermarket heads,
I'd go ahead & spend the money on the camel hump heads you've got. I think
it would be worth fixing them.

Probably worth just sticking the money into the heads to have the work
done now that you have them in your pocession unless you wanted to go to
vortech heads or are willing to take a step down in performance with a
differnt head. The cheapest way to go is probably have them done.

Heads... HELP.
Well gang,
As recommended by some of the wise men
here, I dropped my 327 double-hump heads off for a magnaflux
before beginning to install them on my motor. I bought them used
and have never used them-
The guy called today and said they have no
cracks (good news) BUT he said they need new valves and
will definitely need guides.. He gave me a price of $80
to install the valve guides.
My questions are, I'm already out $50
for the flux- Do I pour the funds into these heads to have them
redone? Can I do the valve and guides myself? It
wasn't mandatory for me to keep the original heads for this motor or
to keep an "all original" motor by any means, but I don't want to spend
unnecessary funds if there's a better decision to be made. Please
help- I just bought new springs and retainers for these heads,
and now I'm stumped (and actually pretty PO'ed). I just bought
the Crane Powermax 260-2 cam kit for this motor, and right now I was
planning on using a stock manifold and a 600CFM carb just to get me back
up and on the road for this summer.
Any help would be greatly
appreciated-
