Thanks, I'll check out the W9's. They sounded kind of exotic as far as the water manifold and valve train, and coming without valve seats and guides so I hadn't really considered them. I'm assuming they would require custom headers too. I think TTI makes an A-body header for W2's, and I see that Jeg's still sells a W2 head for 48 degree blocks. I only paid a grand for the R-block, it's an early one without the extra bolt holes for the head, and it's not siamesed bore, 9.6" deck.
6 grand for those heads to make them work!

I think MattW is probably dead on. First, you purchase the heads, then you have them ported and flowed right? Because I've always been told they are ueseless as cast. So what is my bill from Brett Miller or someone when I get them back assembled and ready to bolt on. I'm assuming you would want him to do the intake too right? So now I've purchased an intake and had it flowed. Now I get rockers, valve covers, custom headers, and all the other w-9 specific bits. 6K probably wouldn't cover it all.
First off.. all my parts were 25% less to start with and the porting wasnt near what your thinking so it ended up much less
