Re: [Amc-list] How much for a head rebuild?

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd say if you provided parts and they didn't do seat replacement, that's a bit on the expensive side. I can't really say if you got taken, but it definitely ain't cheap!
 No Rambler mentality in that one!

Now, I know these guys do great work because they've done two other heads for me, and they won me over by identifying my Rambler head as such without me saying a thing about what engine it came off of.  The last heads this shop did for me were for an IHC 304 engine, and it was about $250 if memory serves, with them providing parts.  Valves were replaced, not ground.
