Oh and I took my wires and organized and shortened them today. They were way too long. Looks a lot more natural now too.

If I can pick up a set of 351w heads for $100 or so, what would it cost to have them gone through? Would they be worth a port/polish job?

Ok so I found a guy locally that has a set of 351 heads that have been worked over. I'm thinking that with a roller cam and the conversion lifters this could be a great old school style upgrade for my 302. Ill post pics. I've never seen the roller rockers on these heads though... what are they?

Heres the other pics he sent me. Hes only asking $250, which I think for a set of these heads worked over already would be a good price. Thoughts?

I ended up buying the heads. They most definitely need some TLC. Once I can scrape up some cash ill buy a spring removal tool and take them apart and mic everything.
