Machine shop prices
Does all of this listed sound reasonable for 330 w/tax?
My 89 L98 "083" heads:
Maged heads
Hot Tanked
milled valve guides
milled spring pockets
machined for screw in studes
resurfacing
3angle valve job
ARP rocker studs
Assembled
Thanks Alex

Yes, that sounds great for around here. The shops around here charge 80 for a hot tank and 80-110 to mill anything really. So you should be OK be central Illinois rates.

Wow 80-110 to mill things down there? I've found places up near Chicago to mill a set of heads for $50-60.
Either way, that price sounds decent. Are they providing new valves as well? If so, that's a hell of a price then I'd say. Prices for valve jobs around here were like $320 or something using stock valves
and it didn't include hot tanking or screw in studs or anything like that
