Given the rarity of these heads, I wasn't sure if there was any hit to the value if I did a standard rebuild with of new guides, hardened seats, new valves and clearancing for 1.65 if necessary. However, it would all be a wash if I used old parts and I dropped a valve and destroyed everything. Better safe than sorry I suppose. Besides, they're already ported on the intake side so it's not like they're totally virgin.

This is going to be a long term project. Got in touch with my builder the other day and he has a 9 month backlog but said he could squeeze me in. I'll start stockpiling parts in the meantime.
