so I guess the next question is where can I find some cheap-ish heads? lol..can I get a set for 2-250? thanks!
 


Glad to help... ZZP also sells remanufactured heads, without a core charge which would probably be cheaper in the end considering you have a cracked head.
 
You should be able to pick up a set of used heads for $150-250 pretty easy, then I would get a valve job done for around $100 and be good to go.

Sorry...but don't get suckered into this mess.

I'd go to a local junkyard...yank some heads off of ANY SeriesII/III Supercharged car...have the heads reconditioned...and you'd be good to go...and probably save you half...if not more than half of what ZZP wants.

How much does it normally run to.have them reconditioned?
