Whatever heads you go for, budget for them fully working if you are going the whole hog.
But kinda depends what your aiming for, have a good think otherwise you could be spending a lot of unnecessary money
Noted....I think I am getting a little carried away.

So better to spend your time and end up with what you want than your money and end up with what you don't want.
What's a couple of months in the greater scheme of things.
Also ScoobyClinic (just remembered where you are) can give you what you want along with many others I'm sure.
I don't have the time to be hands on I am afraid work is to busy along with family life.

Just read that back and it sounds a little misleading.
What I meant to say is, it's better to wait a while and let someone give you what you want than to do all of this running about asking questions and getting conflicting answers, as you don't strike me as the hands on sort.
So in short, get your wad out and let someone do it for you.
To be fair Andy at WMS has given me the same advice as most of you including not to go for a billet crank and he is taking care of the whole build and answers any questions I have, but I am still interested in what others have done. Although opinions do differ and it can be a little confusing the input of fellow SN members is greatly appreciated.
The block has been machined and the pistons and rods have arrived and bottom end should be done in a few week.

Maybe some more photos of the car in the mean time?
Rear Thrust conversion done and drilled for 14mm AS Performance headstuds.
Omega pistons have arrived to just waiting on the rods, crank and a few other bits!
The block is off or a clean and I will have some more pics of the block along with the rest of the bits next week.
I went for the billet crank because I will most likely put the stock engine back in to sell the car and can use this engine in a track car and go for more power if I get the itch the last thing I want to be doing is pending another 12k-15k on another engine.

you still have no need for a billet crank even on track or more power.....
Another one wgo will throw good monry after bad and ignore good advice no matter what!
Ffs if the man wants to spend his hard earned on gucci parts then let him.
Hes had the advice and chooses to spend anyway, who are we to judge!
Imo if you got cash to flash, then why not.
