best thing to do is pick up the phone book and call shops in your area since prices change from area to area. cost me 20 dollars here to get valves and seats ground on set of v8 heads, but i do the tear down and reassembly.

200 bucks? it will be closer to 600 if you want a complete vavle job, ported and polished, fluxed and all that good stuff. the porting is where alot of the money is, it depends on if you want just bowl hogging, or port matching, or both then smooth out the runners. Just depends on how fast you wanna go.
