Default Wanted: 290 BB heads

Yea I know, but this side of the forum gets more traffic. If anyone has a set of 290 BB heads, or knows of a set let me know.

I found one set but they wanted $500.00 for just the bare heads that needed rebuilt. For $500.00 plus rebuild cost plus shipping, pocket porting, etc. I'd rather get a new set of aluminum heads.

Anyway, if they're reasonably priced, let me know.

Do you know that those heads were made with either the old style plug or the tapered seat plug? That's what's one my car. Mine are the old big 13/16" plug version. The heads were used on Late 69's and 70's
