Actually $1300 for the L5 heads should be fine for a stock 2.0 engine with carbs or the 2056cc or the 2270cc stroker motor .....sounds like a fairly decent price considering what you would pay for a performance rebuild with old castings....what do you guys think? I'm going to give them a call tomorrow!

Still haven't pulled the trigger on head purchase....but I have to make a decision soon. My biggest problem is the money thing!...I have a budget. Any advice?
