If you have to aluminum weld up 8 seats and do all the required machine work you would be FAR better off to pony up and buy E heads.
If you have to weld on a new head, once you are done welding and machining its no longer a new head.
And with all those steps the potential variables/problems would be to me, mind numbing.
The guy better know what he is doing and that usually means not cheap.
Code for, buy E heads.
But If you want to put some decent springs on them and a good valve job then run them as cast, knock your socks off.
