65 barracuda engine swap

On my engine, both heads are cracked, #4 cylinder has a deep rust gouge, don't know how that happened, there was no leakage when I broke it down. So i can't find 40 over pistons, 30 over are more than 600, have to buy 2 heads so... a 318 might be how to go.

Wow. Makes sense to me. You should have mechanical rocker arms, bushed rods, and a forged crank to save. The earlier the 318 the better.
