    I have some 1970 heads off a GS 455 for 300.00 , still good shape . I am going to go with Stage 2 aluminum . It would be cheaper to drive here to get them than to ship . I would consider meeting you for gas money .

    Sounds good.I want them.Are they Stage 1 heads?Do you know what casting # they are?What do you mean by good shape?Are they ready to be mounted or do they need a little work?How`s the 20th or 21st sound and maybe we could meet somewhere in between.My birthday is the 22nd these would be a good gift to myself.

    I will get the numbers off the heads today . They were on a good running engine. I would not be afraid to mount them to a used engine . That said if you have rebuilt you engine I would have a shop freshen them up . The weekend of the 21st is not real good for me any days sooner? I will post the head casting numbers later today . I have appointments for the 17th thru the 19th .

    Well here is a tough one ! I found out I have 2 sets . The set I thought were used have been totally rebuilt . The other set is needing work so they would be 200.00 . I dropped them off at the shop to see if they are good . I will send you the info as soon as they check them . Both sets carry casting number 1231786 . 68cc I also have a nice set of rebuildable 71 heads I can get those casting numbers tonight .

    The 71s are 661's and are still much better than the 70's . I will have info soon on the other set of 70s . I would consider selling the 786 heads but the price would have to include the new parts and labor I encountered on these . They are ready to bolt on and go! You can call me at
    314-352-8093 tomorrow or between now and 7 or 10 to 11 tonight . I have a union meeting to go to
