ken's 300$ head has all those springs, valves etc etc.. it is complete and good to go..
but what i would do.. take that 60$ head. and get the cams from yuor dead one, go to ted components and tell him you want to do that weld-on job on those 2 cams, and bang for 260$ you have better performance than a port and polish alone..
besides.. you have other places to spend money on that car, so maybe just the 60$ head would be ok?

Andrew, unfortunately, I don't have an extra $200 to spare for the cams. I would do it, but I intend on swapping engines in the future. All I want is to get the car running again, for the cheapest cost avail..
$900 labour includes:
- 1) taking the heads off BOTH AE86
- 2) bringing the new head to a machine shop to see what modifications will be needed to put the new head onto my old block for a perfect fit. (Elite says it may not be 100% fit due to age. The shape of my block may warp just ever so slightly... or something like that)
- 3) putting everything back together
I can minimize the cost of labour (from #1)by purchasing Ken's head since it's already been taken apart.
Let me give Kenneth a call tonight and see if he can give me a cheaper deal.
