Edelbrock LS3 small bore head?
On the serious side, PW lists a pair of heads for $1300. These are bare heads with valve guides only. Each Mast head costs about $1240. The picture on Mast's site shows a bare head but also has a drop flag to upgrade to better springs and the type of valves. I selected the valves and added the head to the cart. It came out as the listed price of $1240. I added a spring upgrade, and the price jumped to $1590 a piece. No other options are listed. So, I assume the head is fully assembled with options available or you get a head with valves but no springs, which seems wrong.
If so, when adding the needed parts to the PW head, the cost is about the same.... For instance, 650 for the head, say 200 or more for valves, 200 or more for springs, and 200 or more for TI retainers. Plus you have to do the valve job and assemble the head. If the Mast heads are fully assembled, this is a no brainer. You are at over 2,000 for the PW heads set up and ready to install. Check out Mast's site yourself.

Their customer service seems to be a bit lacking according to some accounts.
