AC, just remember that magnesium never sleeps. You would have to pack them in an airtight container or bag, but first spray them down with Gibbs Brand protectant.

Fran's price was $4,000 for a set, if ordered on or before March 1, 2011. And $4,400 after that date. I wonder if Fran would do them faster if $5,000 per set was the set price?

As for the Blue Thunder heads, they have raised exhaust ports and your headers and exhaust system would need some "tweaking." So you didn't add that cost into your calculations.
