Howdy guys,
I just talked to a guy today about having him do the work on my 1980 200 head and he quoted for a rebuild and doing the 2bbl conversion was $2100, about 30 hours. Does this sound right? If thats the case I might as well go and buy the VI aluminum head.
So I have a dremel, and basic mechanical skill, what can I do to cut down the majority of the head work? I would prefer to get this down to more like $1000 or less.
The guy and I will be keeping in touch so we can discuss what I want to do. The one thing he wasn't crazy about what that its got the huge hex log rather the flat top. I plan to use the adapter from VI for the autolite/holley.
Let me know what you all think,
Ryan
