Jasper does good work, I would have them ballance it

 

You could get a plain overhaul for around 2K or less. If you do everything but the head work, you could get by for a whole lot less. Now, if you are wanting to make a hotrod out of it, it will cost you a bundle. Remember, horsepower costs money, and lots of it. So, decide what you want your engine to do when it's all said and done, then go that direction.
