Ok i brought my gt40 heads to get re-done for my build...he called and said the exhuast valves need to be replaced...ok..a complete re-build is $350 then the guides needed to be replaced thats was another $100 and now valves no cost on that...so im sure i'll be into these heads for like $600 not including purchase price...Should i have him just rebuild them and ditch them and get a set of Trick flows or AFR's...any help would be great and where can i get these heads reasonable?......thanks

I would sell them as is and look at some Trick Flows, I have spent way too much $$ on a set of Y heads to later pull and sell at a big loss.

I agree, sell them and get something else.

what was the purchase price, 800-900 for rebuilt Gt-40 heads is about right, as I'm sure you know

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
