head questions - Page 2

How much is the guy going to charge to port the heads? If he's going to do it free or close to free, I don't see why you wouldn't do it. However, I wouldn't buy any other heads until I could afford a good set of aluminum heads. The weight savings as well as the boost in power will be well worth the wait.

Patriot Performance (Rainbow City, AL) aluminum "freedom series" heads are not a bad choice if you're looking for low-budget aluminum heads...they're well under $1000. They are not Edelbrock, TFS, or AFR quality, but they're not too bad.

You should be able to get away with using your long tube headers if you do find a set of P heads... Just don't spend a lot of money for them and don't port them. It's a nice boost till you get some aluminum ones...
