That would be much appreciated!
If George doesn't have the head you need,I found one with that casting number . Ken Perry
The 4 heads that I have are from a 1969 472 with casting # 1480250

Hi Ken, any idea if it is good? Shipping would be to 2150 Deer Road Point Roberts WA 98281
What are you asking for it?
Thanks Robert
Hi,I want $75 for the head. I have had it for about 20 years,just something I saved incase I needed it. I took some valves out for another head years ago. I have never had it checked for cracks,but have no reason to think it's bad. I will get a shipping qoute and send you some pics,we can go from there. Ken Perry
That sounds great, project is currently stalled so it will be good to get it back on track!

Here's what I have. I soaked the plugs and took them out,they came out no problem,threads not rusty. There are no broken off bolts or stripped bolt holes. Looks like everything should machine up well. There is a crack on the top of one valve guide.Ask your machinist,he should be able to fix when he puts in the new guides. Called UPS,got a shipping quote for $73.Takea look and let me know what you want to do? Ken Perry
Hi Ken, Thanks for the pics and shipping quote, I have sent them off to my machine shop www.alecsautomotive.com
and I am waiting to hear back from them.
Robert
Ken, PM sent!
