Carl. I had been looking to have an extra set of heads for that JUST in CASE thing. Found J heads. But most were cracked. Spent a lot of cash for getting them cleaned, and checked for cracks. Just to be disappointed to have money going down rat hole. I do have one that has been blasted, mag-na- fluxed for cracks, 3 angle valve job, and painted that was on a low mileage engine. This GMC I now have. Has a fresh engine in it. So that head isn't needed anymore. I'm coming to Tucson this next winter, could ship, or I know of people from here that winter in your area.

Bob,

It looks like I will need that head. We can talk about it further if I think I need it before you head this way. I would be more than willing to pay
whatever additional it would costs for shipping if it comes to that.

Thank you very much.

Also Bob, I DO know a guy locally who is a big Olds enthusiast that might like the K head and might be able to give me a lead on a J head. We'll see
and I'll let you know.

Bob,

I would like to get that head from you. I had a leak down test done today and the whole right bank was not up to par with one cylinder only retaining
14 PSI (out of 100) and a second only at 47. That is the side with the K-head on it. The J-head side was better although only one cylinder passed
the 90% test with 91 PSI. Two were at 87 and 89, and one at 78. Not great, but at least not a dead hole.

I PMed you, but then realized you are probably an emailer only and don't get forum PMs. My email address is carljr3b AT (@) yahoo.com. We can
discuss price and shipping. I will not be doing anything with this until August, but would like to have the head in hand by early in the month.

We have spoken on the phone before and my contact info is all on the Black List if you would like to talk.

Thanks,
