Damn good price...I paid $550 for a complete head with cam, lifters, etc. that had valve job, other parts were used. Make sure your cam bearing tower threads are good shape or heli-coiled. I also didn't verify early or late cam, ended up drilling and tapping the flange of early cam to mate with late sprocket, on the car. If I did this more than once in my lifetime, I may have caught it early on, thought I had verified everything. The company I purchased from had "International" in their name, but their German wasn't the best
