Default Re: New heads

I love them too. I'm learning a ton. So here is my "dilema". I'm sitting here at a coffee shop deciding what to do. I talked to the machinist. Good guy that builds racing engines.
I was mainly going to 2.19 because of a little pitting on two of the intake seats. To go 2.19, clean, surface the heads and set up the valves, it would cost me $525 in labor if the guidesite are good. He mentioned going aluminum like everyone else has. My problem is that with the pistons I'm running I'd need a 100cc or so chamber. All the aluminum heads with 100cc chambers that I've seen are north of $2k. I could have a real nice set of heads, but iron for less than $1k.I can handle spending a little more if it's what I need to do, but I don't want to waste cash... One more thing, I plan on going bigger cubes at some point, so going 2.19 might not be right for the 402, but it would be when I swap them over to a igger cube motor right? I'm not planning on competing with this set up.
