Another thing also that i had to have done on the original heads is that some of the seats were so badly worn that they had to weld pieces to the head itself to
reseat the head completely due to the age of it,so unless you know what you are getting for sure pulling motors and transmissions out of old cars is alot of work for not knowing what you are getting in return as far as the mechanical condition of it and the same for buying it from the scrap yard or any one else for that matter so be sure to look closely for these types of things and if you are knowledgeable about engines you should know what to look for when in the market for stuff this old.
