300 head woes

Posted by jmyt_47 on June 21, 2001 at 11:01:11 from (170.92.64.254):

The engine builder informed me today that my head off of my '55 300 is cracked along the exhaust seat and runner. About $300 to $500 to fix the "right" way(the heads heated up red hot and welded, then stress relieved, and then remachined to factory specs). I can get a 300 head from the local salvage yard for about $250. Is that a good price? It would probably need a good cleaning and a valve job which would be another couple hundred bucks... So it seems that the cost is a wash between the two choices. I heard that a head off a H or a super H would fit just fine. Would I lose anything by going to the H's head if I could pick it up real cheap?
