At the moment I'm prepared to spend up to $1500. Once the head's off I'll
know what needs to be done vice what I'd like to have done.

Fortunately I'm already a little ahead here. The car has K&N air filters,
a 6-into-1 exhaust manifold and monza exhaust put on by the DPO and DPPO.
(I don't know what kind of manifold it is except that it looks home-made.)
Actually, I'm not even sure what any DPOs may have done to the head before
I got it, so that will be another thing to check.
