The 113 heads are virtually the same heads as the 88 heads. In fact it has been a long time since I looked at these details, but as I recall, the 88 L98 has 113 heads. They are the ones with the D shaped exhaust ports and the ones that the late John Lingenfelter preferred to port in that time period.
I don't think that the 2" valve upgrade is worth the added expense, especially given your budget. If you will do the bowl work you will have a good flowing set of heads with your stock valve size.
I think that given your budget, reusing these heads is a VERY wise thing to do.
My $0.02,

2.0 will help alittle after all the pocket/bowl porting is done. probly worth 10-15 cfm plus port work. Stock heads flow 190's, abit of mild porting can get 220's. Full job with bigger valves can hit 250-260 and thats about it.

Thanks for all the input guys
I just tripped over 2000 dollar bill so the budget is no longer an issue.
I will end up with a 383 of some kind. Any suggestion on the cam? I'd like some room to grow into a stealh ram
