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
