318 and the name Charger suggests this is an antique car now. What year is it and why do you just "believe" it needs a valve job?

Lets put it this way, it's a whole lot easier to do on that car than one of today's cars.

Yes a 318 would be easier if it need it at all. Rusted exhaust manifold bolts/nuts may be the pest. Machine shop should handle any broken off ones if they did that,

I'd sell the heads on Ebay and get a nice set of aluminium heads and get rid of the hundred pound cast iron intake manifold.
