Head work cost.

[CFMopar]

ron or neil how much would I be looking at to get my valve guides cut back, the heads and my intake gasket matched. Maybe a little bit of bowl work? I figure if I want to run the roller rockers with these heads I need them off to get the guides cut back might as well do some other work.

Most of the work you can do yourself. Get yourself a die grinder and the MP porting templates. The gasket match you can also do yourself with the die grinder and an intake manifold gasket as your guide. When all that is done take it to a machine shop for a good 3 angle valvejob and have the guides trimmed down while you're at it. You will probably need to upgrade the valvesprings at the same time.

As for cost....just call around locally and see what they charge for those services.

TM, I just had a set of 452's done for bigger 2.14/1.81 valves, 3-way valve job, backcut intake valves, 70 degree plunge cut for both intakes and exhaust, squaring the heads, new branze guides installed and spring seat area machined for comp 924 springs, all for a shade under 5 bills here in Kingston.  Like Ron said, you can do most the stuff by yourself.  I have the MP templates, and the 70* Serdi plung cut that Shawn did here at Engines Extra took care of 95% of the template material...I'll just be doing a bit of blending...FWIW

Cheers,
