Free is a plus. If you can have a set of big valves 1.94/1.60 put in for free also, a little home port job, you can have a killer set of heads. The valves run $100 for the whole set. Even if you have to pay for the installation you may get a good deal. I think those heads have press in studs, if so they need to be pinned or replaced with screw in studs. Shave them .030, smooth all the sharp edges in the chambers, bowl hog them when you get the valves put in. A buddie in a machine shop is good to have.
