Get the price and then go to a local engine shop and see how much they would charge. Go with the cheaper. I haven't used those places specifically for heads, but I have used similiar places for rebuilt engines in the past and had reasonable success.

welcome to the forum. I'm interested, what kind of prices?

autoz core is 100 on both of the heads
moores 256
recon 336

napa core 123 and 344 for the head

advance auto was 256-76 for the head the core was 100-30

it would be around 350 local maybe more

with autozs recon head in its discrip. it said it has a 3 angle vavle job and a head from the parts store would be the quickest way of doing things 8)

ty for the replys

Those prices are really good, wonder if they include replacing valve guides. I know when I looked at having my head rebuild it was $250 and that only included replacing up to 2 guides, anymore that were worn would be more.

I'd check out some machine shops. I didn't pay that much with all new valves, rocker shaft, springs (V8), milled .04 and light porting. Took him mine and it came back 2 days later at just over $300.

hotrodbob; Can you tell me who did the head work and were you happy with them? I'm in Burbank too, and my Falcon is going to need some attention pretty soon. Thanks!
