Is there a big advantage to having the original heads or is it just 
cheaper to have them repaired?  I've got a lovely wife and a darling 
7 month old son who take up a lot of my time.  If I buy a couple of 
new heads I can pull the engine, replace the heads, and have it 
back in the car in a weekend.  If I have to have the heads that are 
on the engine now rebuilt it will take a lot longer.

Also, I've got a pair of T1 heads that I could have rebuilt.  Any 
problem with putting them on or are T3 heads significantly different?
