Same price as to change your heads.

my guess would be 400 bucks or so. i'd just as well do it yourself and drop in some arp head studs and cosmetic gaskets so you dont have to **** with any of that if you ever plan to throw some ported heads on later.

That's a good price if they're throwing in a set of polished heads and replacing both head gaskets!!
