Thank you for the tip. We were able to get down there and recover the head. After a lot of cleaning, it looks like it will be workable after some grinding, so fingers crossed!
Thanks for that. Might be worth pulling that whole engine if I can get a crew to go down there. LKQ's site is horrible for older parts, can't search older than like 95.
Looking for a '67-74 head that has recently been rebuilt or is a suitable core to do so with. Pulled the head off the 170 in my daughter's van and a couple seats are cracked. In so cal. Her first vehicle and she hasn't even gotten to drive the thing yet, so Dad is here looking to make her happy.
