If a shop is doing the work and already has the tools the inserts themselves aren't very expensive.
I have the keensert tools and many boxes of different size inserts. My brother pulled the head stud threads out of his block once and just had to buy the insert which I believe was around $50 for 3-4 of them.

Yes the 300 was all iron all its life.
However like still to this day
ford used the taper seat plugs in them which have a tendency of loosening up (sound familiar?) which if not caught even in the iron heads can cause the threads to be tore up and need a sert.
I flipping HATE taper seat plugs! Ford should be bitch slapped for using them.

Heat, expansion, and contraction are also a player. Taper seat plugs are 1960's technology, and it sucks.
