$150 for the heads (with 3-angle valve job). No, you can't use the stock
pistons with .010" overbore (you can use KB Silvolites at .030" over bore -
$140 from Summit Racing).
You can use the V8 rods but you'll have to regrind the crank to accept the
larger (wider) bearings from the V8's. .010/.010 on the crank is a good
idea as well.
I've done all of that with my V6 already. (I'm now at a .040" overbore with
10:1 pistons and .010/.010 on the crank with Carillo rods from a 318).

Does anybody have a ballpark figure for machine work on V6 heads (valve job,
seals, guides), .010 block bore and crank turning?
Can the stock pistons be reused with a .010 over bore?
The reason for the above questions and "Parts Interchangeability" post is
because I'm going to build a 408, reuse a lot of my 318 parts (M1, heads,
cam, headers,etc.), take what's left of my 318 short block, put stock parts
back on it (which some will be coming off a Ram) and replace my friends
blown up V6. OR rebuild the V6. I'm comparing costs.
Thanks,
James
