The heads are basic 300hp types. Some dirt trackers will pay $200 or so for them. 1.94 valves unless changed. When you say budget minded, how budget minded? My budget:
Freshen heads-$200
Block work-----$300
Resize rods/bolts-$150
Cast Scat crank--$200
Hyper pistons----$200
Balance---------$150
Kit with bearings-$250
Cam kit complete-$250
I think the 280 Comp cam is a good compremise for the street with a 4 speed. It would really like a 750dp holley though. Keep the short block basic and spend all you can on the heads if you upgrade from this list. That's where the power is at.
