I certainly will link my build thread to over here once I get enough stuff together to make it worthwhile. It will be a long time project.

Those are very ugly. Are there other heads to be had or are they rare like hens teeth. I have seen some very ugly rusty parts clean up well in a machine shop hot tank and be salvageable especially if replacing guides and seats to run with the unleaded fuels.

I wouldn’t say they are rare, but are getting harder to find. They were only used for 2 years, 66 and 67. Many of the high performance guys didn’t like them because they were considered to small to make big power.

I will most likely be putting Trick Flow 240 aluminum heads on this engine.

Wow, it will be great to follow. Do start a build thread. Who was the first builder and how did you get to take the project over. Pretty darn cool for sure.

I am the one starting it. Get to build it from ground up. Always nice to build around the engine.

This thread is a perfect candidate for the new Planes, Trains & Automobile forum so I moved it here.
