318 with 675/318 or 974/360 heads Cam Recommendations

The $325 to mill a pair of sb Mopar heads .040 does seem sort of high...... unless it also includes milling the intake side the corresponding amount.

Of course, if you bring in two assembled and/or greasy, oily heads........ some cleaning has to be done prior to putting them in the machine....... maybe that’s part of the price.

If you brought me two disassembled heads that were pretty grease and oil free, the milling of the decks(only) .040 at my shop would be $120.
Mill intake side, another $120.

In most modern machines, the head sits upside down, and milling .040 off an iron head makes a lot of filings........ that cling really well to anything even remotely oily.

If you brought me two assembled oily heads, wanted the decks and intake faced .040....... and the wanted to receive two assembled heads back...... it would easily be $325(probably more).

Just depends on exactly what you’re getting for $325.

If that the price is for milling the decks only, nothing else...... that seems like the “I don’t want your business” price.
Disassemble 25.00
Clean in the jet wash and blast cab 75.00
Mag 40.00
Mill deck/face correction 65.00-120.00 depending on how much.
Bring in something clean in and the price goes down near $100... and if you know your stuff not cracked or do not request a MAG test it just went down another 40 to $45
How long does it take you? and haven't you made a fixture for for American v8 heads?
It would be a machinist dream if people went along with the idea that you had to pay $325 to have your heads milled in the intake face corrected as well holy fook....lol.
