Howdy guys,
So today I'll be picking up a 1980 200 head with these specs: 1.750 in. Intake, 1.380 in exhuast. I think I've found what Ive been looking for. Supposedly it was rebuilt 200 miles ago but the engine threw a rod. I'm gonna check out the bottom of the head when I get there. The guy's settling for $150.
Thats a decent price right for a late log head?
I will of course be sending this to the machine shop to have them check it all out and do what the performance manual suggests like 1.80 intake valves and 1.5 exhaust valves, backcuts, etc.
Any other recomendations for it? I kinda want to get it set up for a direct mount holley/motorcraft with a plate that lets me run my weber. For tjose of you who've done that before, what does that cost to have done?
Thanks guys,
Ryan
