I think it will be close to a wash. The machine work is very expensive. There is a set of Patriot heads (243's) used for $800 with low miles in the parts section.

I agree with Lucky, you need to figure out how much you will have into them when you are done and then trade that against other options. While $100 looks cheap, bad guides, etc. could add up. Also, I think the LS2 heads from GM are pretty cheap to start with brand new.
