I have a set of C heads I am not able to invest what It will take to put them back in shape. Will need new guides and seats. Whoever did last head job didn't have a clue exhaust seat overlaps intake seats. Also have original 455 rods they have been destressed and polished on sides. Will need arp rod bolts and resizing of course. Anyone needs them just make offer plus shipping can provide pics if needed by text or email

 

do you have photos of heads and rods email me jordan845@comcast.net

 

Pm and email sent

 

Could you post a picture of the valve seats? The factory 2.07 intakes are really close to the exhaust valve. Attached are a couple photos of the large valve heads. It would be next weekend before I had the time, but I could take some closeup photos if it would help you verify if yours really are bad or not. John

told by machine shop pretty bad. fixable but expensive around here quoted 1400 for guides and seats since seats may be crooked

 

few more but not as much of close up

 

looks like whoever did heads may have installed new exhaust seats and cut wrong? they all run into intake. don't know if could just be recut correctly and be ok or have to replace again.

 

the valves don't hit each other but no way they can seal. with valves in head couldn't tell had this problem. guide have slack they will need replaced or k-liners unstalled

 

Can you post a picture with the valves in the seats? Have you checked the size of the valves? Maybe some one set this up for bigger exhaust valves.

 

Not sure if this will work from phone if not will post pics when get home tonight nope will add pics tonight once get home

 

here are pics with valves. not sure if recut to correct size would fix or not machine shops around here are out of their mind on prices

 

original parts go with heads if anyone wants them

 

new valves go with the heads

 

these are the rods. stock but a lot of time on sides still need arp bolts and resize

 

make offer on all or some I just ask you be fair

 

oh and the heads have already been checked for cracks and surfaced

 

Really no interest even from engine and head builders. Ok I will throw a number out there 250 for everything shipping will of course be extra. Unless somebody has road trip planned through Memphis TN area
