Looking for a set of big valve C heads with a Jillian date around 80-100 bare is fine as long as buildable no cracks.

Ok thanks I have 2 sets one has fairly new guides and seats other needs a lot of attention both have dates too late for my build

oldolds88

ryneves

Olds442toro

I also have some. Don't know the dates

Olds442toro

The date depending on how head is sitting is on top of last exhaust port opposite of the big C looks like two flat head screws on each side of the number. The numbers run from 1 to 365 for which day of the year it was made if you have time check and let me know please I have two sets both too late in the year for mine want to get correct as possible

I have a set that appear to have just been taken off a car years ago- never cleaned or painted. Let me know if you're interested. The Julian date looks like 100 or 109. I can check better if you're interested. They are the big valve heads. I'm in Michigan.

Price? Or be willing to swap for recently reworked set with springs good for 570 lift and shaved to 68cc chamber?

ryneves

The set I have at the house has date code of 142 and 143. These are the bare ones with crossovers filled. The other set is being disassembled at the machinist right now. I'll check it out tomorrow. I was just there today and forgot to look.

Olds442toro

142 143 won't work I have a set I will use if can't find correct date or possibly trade for correct date they were recently built springs good to 570 lift and shaved to a 68cc chamber have been ran but not much I bought them since didn't have C heads at all. So have them if needed but if can find dates that work for my build that will be much better. My dads originals were stolen.

ryneves

Sorry to hear about the stolen parts. Like I said I'll take a look at the other set I have and let you know. Can I ask what you're putting them on? The set being disassembled at the machinists are off of a 68 Toro motor. They are the big valve for a 455 high compression 10.25 to 1.

I am finishing what dad started frame off resto on his 68 olds 442 conv. Have to original matching # 400G block and trans so trying to get it back as close to original as I can. Dad passed away from cancer after a 10 year battle car has been apart for 12 years. It was his last request of me to finish and take care of it so that's what I will do I am in no big rush so just when you get time. Where are you located? I am in West Tn. Jackson area

ryneves

I'm in sacramento, ca area. I'm restoring my step father's 67 442 that passed away a couple years ago. I'm also restoring a 67 f85 post coupe that is being customized a little bit. It's alot closer to being finished so that's what I'm focusing on right now. Who knows? Maybe I'll sell it when I'm done so I can pay for the 442 to be done.

Here's some pics of the f85
