couple hundred springs $200 new factory springs usually last at least 150,000
couple hundred fer valves $200 new factory valves usually last 200,000
resurface at my local machine shop $140
valve job $200
valve seals $30
Total is under $800 and I don't worry about valve seats, the only time they fall out is if the engine gets very hot and an eddy would do the same thing and they still need checked over by a machine shop first.
That gives everyone a good idea about a factory direct replacement type rebuild. He did ask for better valves though. If he is not putting these on a built motor I think they would be fine right out of the box for his application.
My next step up would be to find a low mile set of BGE heads then... they have better valves, better aluminum, better flow and still a lot cheaper than eddelbrocks and yes, they clear 5.7 bores. Should be able to buy a pair, inicluding shipping and machine .030 off to keep compression close for round $1100 total.
