Seeking a good 200 inline six head from a running engine. Ideally something that was swapped out for a performance upgrade. Stock valves and basic machine work are fine. Looking for a reliable street head, not a high dollar build. Price negotiable and would prefer to pickup in the midwest but US shipping is fine too.

What's wrong with your old head? Before you pick up a different one you should probably confirm what head you have now. In cars this old stuff gets swapped all the time. There were two basic versions of the 200 head. "Small Log", referring to the smaller volume cast-in intake manifold with a 1.5" inlet, and "Large Log" heads with a slightly bigger manifold and a 1.75" inlet. The heads can be swapped but some engine accessories like carburetors would require adapters. On the rear half of the top of the intake manifold will be a cast in number beginning with a C, D, or maybe E. That number will tell you what year the head was made.
It WAS a small log from my 65. I can pick up plenty of replacements locally but was just seeing if anyone had a "good one" they pulled just for a large log upgrade to save me from buying and unknown.
I can get a head locally easy, just have to buy the whole engine and then find out if it is any good. Just feeling out if someone had one already gone through that they didn't need and wanted to sell
That is good if you have plenty of 200 engine in your area to choose from and what location is that? Have you found any 200/250 in the 80-83 range? Those had the largest cfm log at 1420 and the block may be the large bell that can be made to accept sbf transmission although the block would not be of interest to you. Someone else might want it.
