to run the comp 270's when you have the PI heads off take the intake valves out and grind .040" off the lip on the valve you can run the cams straight up with no PTV issues
MAKE SURE YOU DEGREE THE CAMS!!!!!!!
look at my build thread i have pictures of what to do

intake manifold: $50-150
oil, filter, coolant: $50
coolant pipe and other asst. crap: $100ish
cams and springs: $850 if you go with COMP, $600 for MHS, stock springs OK
modified intake valves: free-$40
heads: $100-1800 depending on what you get
while youre in there you might as well throw a set of longtubes on and a few other bolt ons, easier to do with the heads off...
another good option (what i did) was to grab a complete PI motor out of a junkyard and use all the parts off that, i got my engine for $150 and used the heads, intake, coolant tube, etc
all said for EVERYTHING around $1500-2000
