$300 is typical, less is better and not totally uncommon. look at craigslist in your area for better deals
and yes, those heads can be ported to work extremely well. if you pay $300 for the heads and about $300 in port work... they will perform better than box stock aluminum heads.
my buddy went 11.80's w/ those heads on a box stock gt40 tubular intake, 125 shot, and et drags, this was a full weight '92 gt 5-speed
the main part to concentrate on is port match the lower intake, port the exhaust ports, comp valve job and smooth out the turns.
unless your gonna stroke it, thats all you'll get out of it w/out going hi compression big money motor
