before i decided i to do the cam + valve spring install myself, the cheapest quote i could find would have been a minimum of $600. Since the heads already have the valve springs on them, it may even out. It also depends on if you are going to be adding a new oil pump or timing chain (that will add extra time as well)

That shouldn't really make any difference. They both have to come off anyhow. Won't add but maybe 10-15 mins max.
