I know its easy to find GT-40 heads, but mine are going to be coming off in the next month or so (i hope) and i'd be willing to part with them.... its better than keeping them laying around

I wouldnt really want a whole hell of alot, maybe 250, 300 at the most... I would of course be selling them complete... that means 1.7 cobra rockers and all.. but you will need different valve covers to fit them onto your motor,

And i live up in Rhode Island... so its not that far to NJ

Regasket the whole motor while its out. A whole felpro gasket kit can be had for under $100. You could check the bearings and replace them if needed. Also check if the crank needs to be turned. If you want to hone the block new pistons rings wouldn't be a bad idea. Good to see you around again hack.
