That is 7 hours in just labor for the removal and install. Personally, I would just spend the extra money on some aluminum heads and do it right.

Click to expand... Some would say yes and Some would say no Its all about what you expect to happen or What your goals for your combo are Its a no brainer that they would not give the same gain as A set of better flowing, newer technology, Aluminum heads If I was to guess at how much power you'd pick up ........... Depending upon quality of port work, valve work and the like I'd say they would give 1/2 to 2/3 the gain of TFS, AFR, Edel, etc. Grady
