1. The ones that are not cracked
2. The ones with the biggest valves
3. The ones with the smallest volume (461??) aka Camel Humps

If I had to pick I'd keep the 882's. But they're all useful boat anchors. The 461 is 64 - 66 327.

If you are going to be a scumbag, at least have the common courtesy to steal both. I would be more PO'd at having to look at the one head that was left. If you are going to be a criminal, at least finish the job and don't half-*** it.

That was my question, too. I really wish I had the other one.
I think I may just use the 434's to learn how to port match and such. Valves are tiny, 1.72/1.50 and the castings are lightweight, they were used on 262 ci Monzas and 305's. The 60cc is attractive, but the valve size is just too small.
