My 440 rebuild thread

At this point I'd be declaring pretty much all the head hardware (springs, retainers, locks, dampers, seals, valves) for scrap and starting over. If the heads don't need any machining it might be cheaper to get them redone with new parts but Stealth heads are $1200 for a pair, last set of BB heads I did for my cousin I got decked, valve job, guides reworked, all new hardware installed ready to bolt on and they came out to about $1500... and that was around 2012 iirc.

I have a set of 346 casting heads off the 1973 440 I'm rebuilding that I don't need but they're "virgin" high-mileage pieces, likely need to be fully gone through though...
