I'd recommend working on the head next. Some quality portwork, upgraded vavlesprings/retainers, and set of cams with adjustable gears would be a good start.

I say go for it. they look good and sound pretty good too. But its all up to what you want to do and how much money you want to spend.

build and port the head first than get your self some itb's and port match them to the head and you should be making some really good power and have a pretty hefty midrange and top end.
