Just found out I have a 366 truck head on the pass. side of my 427

Looking for a nice part number 3917215, complete head or pair of heads to make the car whole again. Prefer something date coded before about Feb. 68 but if you have something nice I might be interested if it's later or much earlier.

Also prefer pick up within range of South Jersey/Philadelphia if possible, these are a little heavy to ship and I'd rather inspect it first.

Also if anyone can recommend a good machine shop that can do head work in the South Jersey area please let me know.

Try Pat Musi in Jersey........he'll help you out

I have no idea who this is. Google only takes me to a Pat Musi Racing in North Carolina and looking at his website I doubt he sells vintage BBC stuff like this based on his listings for expensive looking track motors.

Please elaborate if there is a guy in Jersey that can help...

Thanks Wes, will keep this in mind. I have a lead on a set that are actually five minute from my house except the date codes are about a month too late so I'm still looking.

MC,
I don't know if they are still available.
Search Craigslist Phila., auto parts, type 427 in search line.
There were a set on there 215's out of Bristol PA.
They've been listed for quite some time so seller maybe motivated to
negotiate?
Hope this helped.

He may have moved to a different location.........This man has a shop near me,his name is Moe Strunk and his engine machine shop is S&S Speed Center 59 Gordon Lane Kingston,Pa. (570)288 6432. He and his son build engines and race motors and are great to deal with................I had my 327 built by him a while ago.........give him a call...Ray Meoni

SO CLOSE!!! But they were "ported rectangular port"...

It's too bad you're so far away as I have a pair dated K--7. Sorry

marshal135

Sorry,
Thought they would work for you. Local and cheap dates even right.
I missed the modification to rectangle chambers.

Update, I took a chance on an ebay single head with a stuck valve from the midwest somewhere. $150 shipped offer was accepted, so figuring shipping was at least half that since it weighs about 80 lbs, I got it for somewhere around $75 bucks. I had to put one helicoil in a valve cover bolt that was broke off, and the date code was not as close as I would have liked but plausible. Machine shop says its a good head and magnafluxed fine. Should have fresh, matching set of heads (with some mild porting) in about two weeks.

Now I'm cam shopping after discovering the car had a crappy low lift LS3 cam

Thanks everyone for looking!
