Thats about it. So get friendly with your local automotive machinist and see what he'll charge ya to do the work.
well my brother just found a set of completely done world sportsman 2 heads for only 400 dollars-and considering the work i need done to the head is gonna cost me 150-250 dollars im just going to sell the vortec heads and buy the sportsman heads-this should be better heads anyways plus they dont need any work done and i get to keep my intake and valve covers

If you go to www.alangrovecomponents.com they have all different types of custom bracket items that will work, I did a similar set-up on my motor and EASILY found what I needed to mount my power steering and alternator for under $100.00. And they work great. Some people just don't want to mess with things like this. Easy to do and these heads are awesome.

I have a set of camel humps on my Malibu. Ive never had $1500 plus to buy a nice set of heads. I stumbled across these camel hump and i have no problem saying they are Great. I didnt drill holes for accesories. I made my own brackets excluding the upper alt bracket. I run these on a 383 stroker. Ive never had this car to the track. Its my summer time play toy. STREET CAR PEOPLE...lol. Everyone tells me that tunnel ram engines arent streetable.
Like you i didnt have alot of money. i drilled and pinned the heads and put triple springs on. I run a 305adv. duration magnum cam in this engine with a 3500 stall in front of a 350 turbo. I run 20in wide rear tires and this engine turns them like nothing. From a dead stop this car will bawl the tires until about 90 mph. ;}
If you can use the heads you wont regret it.
