I have not kept up with Mopar small block engines for a LONG time. Between a fighting a divorce in the 90s, a complete location change, giving up a way of life (farming), and hard financial times the last 10 years - I had no time or money to work on or build any cars.
Sometime in the early 90s I had a buddy give me (or sell cheap - don't remember) a set of 2.02 heads he said were from a police version of a 360. The casting number is 4323345. I have looked them up and they indeed appear to come from a police 360.
They are a little rusty from sitting around. I know that to be worth anything to anyone, they would need to be cleaned up and magnafluxed to show no cracks.
My question and what I don't know since I have fallen out of touch on older Mopar engines; If I had these heads cleaned up and reconditioned, as long as they are not cracked; would it be worth it? I have fallen out of touch on what is popular or good to use in a SB build. Of course, there will be differences of opinion here. I just don't want to spend money to rebuild them just to only get my money back. I plan on getting my magnifying glass out to see if I can see any cracks between valve seats. As I quickly look at them I don't see any but I know magnafluxing is the only way to go.
