"It ant your Dad's FE engine anymore" I'm not sure exactly what the intent of this was but it seems more like an insult than anything else? I would love to come to the KC open house If it was a couple thousand miles closer, I'd be there.

1800..? they sell for 1300 to 1500. with a set of iron heads that do not have hardened seats installed. they will self destruct using unleaded fuel. the exhaust valves will pummel the seats sinking the valve deeper and deeper into the head. you will get maybe 2 years out of them before your ripping it down again. if they already have hardened seats then use them.
just bear in mind they are 40 years plus old.
