That's not much money for a topend, unless you're buying used components (and refurbishing them) or very generic pieces (like a storebrand camshaft). I say this because aluminum aftermarket heads go for more than $1000 new, you might get away with say, $750 for cast irons, but then you have the intake ($120+), carb (depending if you get a stock q-jet and make that work), and various related things.
