I can help you out. I just had Ollie's do all of my machine work for my 3.5L Motronic motor. I had way more done than what you are looking to do it appears, but here is what would apply to you if you are just looking for a top end valve job.

Disassemble Heads
Bead Blast Heads
Surface Heads
Replace 12 Guides (guides included)
Grind Intake & Exhaust Valves (replace if necessary)
Grind Valve Seats
3 angle Vale Job
Set Valve Spring Height
Assemble Heads

Ollie's charges roughly $500 for the above. You would also have to buy new valves if your stock units are out of spec and can't be reused. I needed 6 new intake valves but the exhaust were fine and could be reused.

While the top end is apart, take a good look at your rocker arms and shafts for wear. The rockers can be reconditioned and the shafts polished for about $200.

Of course, twin plugging and porting/polishing would cost significantly extra. Ollie's can be reached at 714.558.7334.

Good Luck!

Ralph
