I have the offer to buy a used set of 5.7 heads that had a valve drop and bend the valve. The cost is $150. Would this be worth buying so I can port and build a set of heads for a cam/heads build up or should I go with a cleaned up set I found for $450? I can't afford the ported or 6.1 heads at 1,400, way to much for me. All I would need is a new valve and new springs for the cam, and to clean them up, right?? or is there more to do?

As long as the valve did not damage anything, (seat/guide) u should be good. Might want to freshen up the valve job, new seals, and mill some off, to raise the compression.  2003, Std.

uuuuhhhh....yeah, what he said. I would say for $150, you can't go wrong as long as they are otherwise healthy. Put a higher performance set of springs on them anyways, have them ported/polished and cleaned up. Would be a nice jump in hp/tq.

I was talking about the pic I saw and posted about in your public announcement forum. That was weird. This is where I first saw it. And then when I went to your other forum, it was under MrH's sig too. Either you guys are screwing with me, or someone was screwing with you......
