Advice on cheap headers?

[barnett468]

Im still somewhat on the fence about the heads.  I was figuring it would cost me $1500 to completely rework my 4v's with new valves, seats, rocker stud conversion and the rest of the needed machining.  

It is going to be frustrating to have to buy 2 sets of headers!!

Unless your seats are burnt badly or you are going to use high valve spring pressure, you can regrind the stock seats.

One thing that worries me about the stock heads is finding a machine shop that knows what they are doing with Cleveland heads. My understanding from the 351c forum is that a lot of machine shops wont touch the Cleveland head. No idea why.

It's no different than doing a chevy big block head.
