That is a good package deal. Do some reasearch on those heads before putting much money in them. They aren't all they're cracked up to be, especially to today's standards. The aluminum is weaker, they are hard on valve seats and as stated, real prone to cracking. Don't get me wrong, they are cool, but I wouldn't drop a lot of coin on them since it isn't a numbers matching resto.
