I'm rebuilding my 1997 502MPI's. I see there is alot of heads out there for under $1000. Would this be money well spent?

First off never buy ready to run heads unless they’re from someone like Teague. Buy the castings and let a good cylinder head guy who knows marine go through them and set them up properly. It will save you a world of trouble. I went with EQ heads. Good castings. Flow well. Iron but $425 per casting. I think all in with top quality valves, springs, hardware and machine work I’m right 4K all in on both sets.

You've already gotten good advice from other members and pretty certain you get the picture. From my personal experience if your looking for aluminum the promaxx are a good head for the price or if you want cast iron heads EQ. Purchase bare and have professional set up for your use. Even with a 1,000.00 set of heads you'll end up more than doubling the price when complete. That's with no port work.
