Woody, I kinda disagree with you...while acknowledging the PITA factor.
It all depends on where you start, and what you want to do. If you're talking about just bolting on a set of heads, then okay. But, if you score a set of S2's for say $300, then the $1K for headers, $200 for cam, $400 to modify an intake compares pretty well to the $2000 you'd pay for a set of GN1's.............

So a killer set of new TA heads would be around $3000 and capable of over 1100 HP, this would be much less than half of the cost of stage II heads on this project. [And he would have ended up with hydraulic lifters instead of the high maintance solids!]

$6,000.00 for a set of SII heads????Nahh, I don't agree.
With proper shopping techniques, a very nice set of SII alum. heads can be had for as little as $250. New stainless & Inconel valves for another $200, springs and associated hardware, maybe another $200.

Good luck on your plan Dave but I still have the question of "why" stage II heads unless you are planning for the 7's or 8's? Ken D. has dyno'ed TA heads to over 1100 HP [and still more left] which is probably enough for most street/strip applications.![]()

sooooo, what you are saying is, you think the SII heads will be cheaper than something else for a measley 750 HP?
I wish you luck in your quest and please keep us informed![]()
