There's people out there who can restore it to like new condition. They replate all the metals, put bushings in the throttle shafe if needed.
I really don’t care about it being pretty . I’ve had bad luck years ago rebuilding them Kits not being very good snd issue with remans . No one around here has flow system to dial in and know good either . Might just go 4 bbl but new 500 avs2
I'm in chicago but can ship no problem, I have it posted here: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/300-aluminum-heads-rochester-2bbl.385240/#post-3392168
Pulled a 4bbl intake going to put a 500 Cfm Edelbrock Avs2 . Cleaned it up and paint can I had was bad so I'm guessing next weekend now .
