That seems about the norm for heads to rebuild them properly.

Of course that doesn't include the cost of purchasing a set of "those" heads LOL

The last SBC I did, which everyone says is the cheapest engine to build, set me back over $6,000, closer to $7k.
And I already had the block, the crank, the heads, the intake, the carb, the distributor, and the exhaust manifolds.

That was 5 years ago and was a flat tappet build.
