What's up with this? (selling car)

[Vamp89]

I looked at your ad and it says your asking 15,000 no o.b.o, anyways I'd keep it I can't see putting 20,000 in a stang and just getting rid of it. I'd get rid of my wife and kids first.

This is something I want done to my original 289 heads. I've considered buying aluminum heads, but decided against it. I don't really want to spend $1,000+ for the heads, and then ship them out again for another $1,000 in machine work. If I was building a dedicated racer, things would be different, but I'm just trying to build a healthy engine for cruising and such.

Back on topic...if I can find somewhere reputable to do this work within a couple hours of here, that would be great.

It looks like Sacramento Mustang has their own shop, but I'm not sure if it's just for installing the parts they sell or if they do machine work as well. I'm still waiting for a response from them. It'd be pretty sweet if all I had to do was drive up to Sac for my machine work.

It truly does suck living in a town where every shop around seems to only do fart-can and CAI installations.

Wondering why you don't want aftermarket Al. heads? It won't cost any more to install those than reworked stock heads and it should be a + rather than a - as to the value of the car. You won't get as much performance improvement with reworked OEM heads as you will with unaltered TFTW, AFR, Edelbrock RPM, or other quality aftermarket Al heads. You can always paint them blue if you want factory appearance.
