I think only 1.8/2.0 replacment heads are available right now, I believe these are the base heads HAM uses that he supplies to Jake.
aircooled.net cylinder heads (don't mind the picture) $399 each, and the stock valves, guides and all that related stuff sucks from the factory and should be replaced before use. without looking at HAMs site, I want to say about $1500 would get you a set of new bolt-on heads |
