At this point, I think I'm going to clean the block and chip away at building the heads while I save up money & collect parts for the block build. By the time all of that happens, I hope I'm able to find some of the necessary parts used via ebay, craigslist, and here.
Building these heads are tricky. Not much you can do porting wise just new springs and clean up the bowl behind the valves.

Why do you say they are tricky to build? Is it the porting? The mechanicals all seem pretty straightforward to me.

Almost no room to port before you hit a coolant passage or oil.
Also pretty pointless because the port design stems from the FB25 Turbo Forester. It already flows as good as some 900HP turbo cars.

Intake is a straight shot actually flows too much emptying out the intake manifold plenum
