I picked this up from a parts hoarder a week or two ago. The seller didn't know much about it, he'd bought it from a junkyard many years ago. The typical yellow junkyard paint on it looks like "74 MAV", so the head was probably from a 1974 Maverick if it matters. This head doesn't have much rust on it, and the valves aren't frozen. If it isn't cracked it should be rebuildable. I've already got a couple spare large log heads, and a new lead on another one a couple blocks away. I let my spare adjustable and non-adjustable rocker assemblies go with the last head I sold. So all I wanted from this one was a new spare rocker assembly and to see if I could turn it into something I did want. And what I want for this head is $50 and a good set of ball and cup adjustable rocker pushrods. Yes, I could clean it up and get it checked for cracks. But then the price will go up a lot. I really don't want to ship it either. The head is located in southern Minnesota not far north of I 90 right on I 35. I'm retired, so pretty much any time is a good time to pick it up. And if I’ve still got it then, there’s a free early 170 head you can have too!
