needed
B) Have a set of new guides, stiainless valves and new springs installed,
then add roller rockers
C) Shoot the moon for a set of the new Edelbrock aluminum heads, add roller
rockers.  (Both Jegs and Summit are selling these fully built for $909 each)

What questions should I be asking and parts decisions should I be looking at
in each of these cases? >>

>>>I would be asking myself why I would be considering spending big bucks to 
repair POS open-chamber heads when for only a bit more money you can get NEW, 
ready-to-go aluminum heads with a proper combustion chamber design and 
terrific flow characteristics.
