Budget head work in STL I'm looking to simply freshen up my 243's with minor hand porting/valve work. It's a street application so I'm not worried about a full cnc porting. So far I've been referred to Button automotive in o'fallon. They quoted me $330 for the set. Anybody else have any other reccomendations? I'll go with Button if nobody else knows of a better place.

i took my heads to Phase 2 Machining off watson in crestwood. i had them do a valve job, install a few new valve to replace bent ones and machine to raise compression. i wanna say it was about $250 or $300 but did a good job. also call JCM machining in house springs

Pretty much everyone was in the same price range (~$50 of each other). Probably sticking with Button since its only 10mi from me and a few of the local performance shops send off heads to him. I appreciate the input though, probably would have went with Phase 2 if I lived down near 44.
