Need to pull the head on my 57 WD45 gasser and have the exhaust ports built back up, and have the manifold planed this summer, any idea of the potential cost? almost afraid to ask..

I don't know about the head,but I just had the manifold milled on my D-17 gas and the guy charged me $75.00  Keep in mind that you can buy a new good quality  manifold for about $175.00

How bad are the exhaust ports? May be able to mill the head flat, instead of trying to build it up. I might be looking for a different head if it had to be built up??? I think some guys have gotten by with some form of epoxy, or liquid metal to build the head around the exhaust ports.
