70 455 F heads

Looking for an original set of F heads as my engine builder prefers to build to his own spec. I found my 70 442 in a barn 10 miles from where I live now, trying to restore it back to better than original condition. I'm not on the websites much so please cal 810-650-5107

Do you really need F heads? Those were the 1970 W30 heads. If your car is a 442 but not W30 then you need E heads which are way cheaper!

If you only need E's there's several of us here with extras. You could post a parts wanted thread and include the casting date on your block and build date on the firewall trim tag and we can find a set that would be correct for the build date on your car.

Set found within an hour of placing ad, thanks everyone and thank you to Classic Oldsmobile ( This car was a special developmental car with a research and development staff tag on the door jam, it had W-30 parts on it from the factory, so I'm restoring it that way ) Full story on this car which was mine back in 1975 at a later date.

Album 70 442 Barn Find

I posted the album I am keeping from the day I rediscovered my old car, recovered it and the beginning of restoration which is ongoing. Album can be viewed by interested members in my profile. I will be adding to it as progress allows.

Thank you for posting pictures. Since its an automatic transmission car, if its got the correct vin derivative stamped in it. Does it have the OG or OW code on the passengers side tag? Just curious. John
