I dont need to, but why would I buy a motor that needed the head pulled? And if i were going to subtract money from the cost of the engine, it would include labor too. Why should I do the work?
Youre asking MORE than what a MINT OEM swap goes for, and yours is blown. Just because your head is built, doesnt mean you can tack on an extra $2000, especially since youre still running ITR cams. With that valvetrain, you could be running skunk2 stage 2 cams, and making 30+ hp more.
