I dont think cost comes into play in this senario when one is talking about $5000 to around $7000 S/S heads. Maybe someone like Dave Layer could shed some light on this? One.....the value of iron heads from collector whores have driven the cost of good cores to work with out of sight for older muscle cars IF you can find them. The labor to port, weld, or repair iron heads would off set any lower cost to start with. I know some are at a disadvantage because an alum head is not avaliable (NHRA legal replacement) compared to the Chevy, and Ford stuff. I know of some stocker guys who would "Kill" for an Alum. replacement head so they could keep up with the competition due to the fact that the AHFS has not done its job. Anyone else??
