Default Heads bare castings?

Hey guys I'm trying to find a after market casting with the thicker deck surface. Where the issue comes in is that I'm looking for a set that are literally looking for bare un-milled castings as my buddy has his on build specs and program to mill them. I know I can always buy a set done then have him do his thing, just figured I could save some coin by getting a set un-milled. Do you guys know any companies the sale these? Thanks...

Usually milling is a cheap process, I doubt you will save any $. Yes you can order heads that are cast for a lot cheaper than CNCed ones. I would look into some Trick Flow 220s. They will come with a standard deck height, and then can be milled to fit your application i.e. cam, valetrain, pistons etc.. Looking about about $1800 bucks for a set.
