    You need to be a little more specific.

    Over the pond may be more accurate. LEY may be short for "British Leyland" lol

    Thanks for the replies gents. unfortunately the worlds seams to be in lockdown at the moment. but I am still chasing some heads to fit the buick/rover based block. prefer worked buick 300 heads as I don't have to change manifold heights, but anything considered. I have been in contact with a couple of group members, who might be able to help, but nothing yet. I know members have spent a lot of time increasing valves and porting, adding roller rockers etc. If you have something of this nature and have moved onto something else or gone a different direction let us know. Yes I am over the pond in Australia so freight would have to be added.

    You might try the www.row52.com site. I have had zero luck in getting anyone on that site to respond to me, aside from a single helpful moderator. One center of activity there is California, which is closest to you on the mainland, so perhaps you could zero in on a California based puller on the row 52 site. I have had access to what seemed to me very good Range Rover bodies in the U pull it here, but there are long gone now. Probably some rich doctor's kid drove them for a while and then dumped them when some gremlin appeared.

    Thanks for the replies. I have a stack of early heads like the 215 heads. pressed rockers with an aluminium bridge piece. But I have upgraded the block to 3.72" pistons but keeping the original stroke of 3.5" Hence my need is better air flow potential. I have a willpower single plain 4bbl manifold, a good cam and other little bits and pieces, but Lack the heads. Now I could try and port a set of rover 4.6 heads. I have oversized Valves for them and some new guide, but I shake at bit, like I have a fever. I need glasses too for finer details. and while,world isolation gives me the time to do such activities. I thought I might ask a few forums first. Please if you know of someone.. give them a shout.
