If the lowest you found is $500 for H/C swap, then probably IT IS the lowest price you'll ever find. Most shops charge close to a $1000 for a Head/Cam swap.
Of course, you get what you pay for. Shops charge $1000 because they have experience in doing it, and it takes roughly 8-10 hrs to do it right.
It's your call. Personaly, I'd spend the whole weekend doing it myself. If you're logical, and you've been on the forum for a while, you're gonna do fine... at least I did
