    Wow, probably costs more than that to ship them. Are they of the small chamber variety?...

    Interesting. Should be what, 49cc heads? What valve size? I did some reading the other day, early 289 heads had small valves... 67 or 68 started the 1.78/1.45 valve size. Yes, they *were* smaller than that... :eek:

    T.L.: Yes, they are the small chambers. Shipping is around $50.

    Yellow72Mavrick: Really? How much? :evilsmile

    maverick75: I'm starting from scratch with mine. I have a 302 Mexican block that I'll be using for the build.

    74merc: Valve sizes are "puny", at best. Doesn't matter. I've got a nice set of titanium Nascar takeout valves here that I can cut down to whatever size I need/want. Then again...I won a set of stainless steel GT40 valves on Ebay last night ($27 per set) that could work well also.

    I forgot how much fun it can be suckering the import dorks into a money race. This is going to be a riot. :bananaman

    Hhhmmmm...not that I can think of right away. PM me with a price and pictures if you have any. I do know some guys who do restorations around here that might be interested.

    I actually have the whole engine I think, but the block is cracked, only reason I didn't use it. Will get pics this week

    The Shipping prices skyrocketing are becoming the norm. But for items that are in abundance, looking for good deals now, sometimes come down to comparing the SHIPPING prices. I just bought a Bluetooth headset for my PalmOne Treo 650. I paid $20.00 for it, and $15.00 shipping. The box that it comes in, is about the size of a cigar box, and the whole package weighed less than a pound. $35.00 is a great deal for a Motorola Bluetooth headset, but they had to make money somewhere, and it's shipping.
