To rebuild heads and do them right you'll spend an easy grand and most likely closer to $1500 by the time you do guides, valves, springs, valve seats, cut for positive seals etc... and I'd about guarantee they need all that done. That's a basic solid rebuild without any port work.

So you just have to ask yourself how much you want to spend on 60 year old heads vs a set of new aluminum and if the difference is worth it to you.

Me personally if this isn't a numbers build I'd go straight for a set of Kauffman or Eddy's.
