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!!
