Default good price on 317 heads?

not sure if this is a FI question or not but, just finished up a custom turbo kit on my car and was looking at getting a set of 317 heads to lower the C/R and all, well i can get a reman cyl head for $280 a head with a 1 year warrenty, comes with new valves and springs, so would be a bout $550 ish with tax, would this be a good deal/way to go or would i be able to get a set cheaper? thanks!

FInd a used set on here or local. Got mine for 200 used they just needed to be cleaned up.

I would recommend some good valve springs too you will incounter valve float once you start turning the boost up.

Definitely go used! You can find used ones for 150-300 A SET pretty easy!

I think 95bowtie nailed it. I just picked up a clean set on here for $200 shipped and they were in great shape. I'd go that route and send them out yourself. This way you can choose the right springs for your particular setup.
