Anyone Near L.A. have some spare valves for a late head?

How's it going? Got the motor running that I am rebuilding for the 1979 Futura 24 Hours of Lemons car and it now appears the #6 exhaust valve is either bent, or just tight in it guide. It is hanging opened, though it will snap shut if I tap it with a wrench or something. I had a valve job done on the head, and the shop replaced 2 intake valves that were bent, but no exhausts. I really should take the head off and go back to the machine shop and make some noise till they at least order a replacement for the valve that is sticking. If it wasn't bent when it started sticking, I'm pretty sure it is now, or will be shortly if I keep running it like this.

So, does anyone near me have an old head sitting around I can steal a valve out of? I know I can get a new one, but not in the next few days.
 
Are they from the late model head? I would actually pay money for a set to complete the other bare head I have. How much do you want to ship them to me?
 
PM me your address, I'll pull the valves tomorrow and package them up for you. The head is a 1980 head, E0 casting. Is that your head also?
