Default Heads

Is this a good deal for Heads. The only reason im asking is because my head gasket went out so i deciding on doing a PI upgrade since im going to have the heads off. http://bigboyracing.com/id16.html

You can even get new ones cheaper. Buy all the parts seperate and shop around online you should be able to get it for less then 1,500. I spent 700 on heads 190 on the mainfold, and 100 on the cylinder head changing kit. Thats 990 and other then that the only thing I needed was the manifold gaskets and they werent that much.

Is it hard to do the swap by yourself?

i heard it was pretty hard if you haven't done anything engine related before. i myself haven't ever done it but might be trying it soon. i would recommend on buying a shop manual such as Haynes before doing the swap. also search the internet for head swap right ups. from what i've researched, it is about a weekend job for two people that have some experience.

You could definitely find them cheaper slightly used or new on the boards. I just did last week. I would look around unless you just don't feel like worrying about it.
