Its hard to beat the 243 castings that are CNCed and super low priced now from places like Patriot to name just one . $900 isnt bad if ya wanted to still go that route but for just a little more you could get alot more.

I would say $1200 and you could have a great budget set of heads fully assembled and ready to bolt on. Patriot, like Bo said, would be a great place to start. you definitely cannot go wrong with that price.

I believe that you could get rid of your 853 castings and put that little extra money towards that new set of heads.

We can do you a set of 243 castings CNC ported with OEM (non-sodium) valves, our Patriot Gold dual spring kit, new MLS GM head gaskets, OEM head bolts, and shipping anywhere in the US for $1125.00. This is an excellent value on a set of 243 ported heads.

That is an excellent deal. Hard to compete with that kind of package.

These will just have a light cleaning mill unless you specify otherwise.
