Packing Cylinder Heads for Shipment:
22"x14"x12" box.
Big roll of large bubble bubble wrap.
Fully wrap each head 3 times around with the bubble wrap.
Put the heads in the box with the decks facing each other and the exhaust ports facing the ground.
use more bubble wrap to pack the box so they dont move around
I'm just going to re-use the packaging they send my heads in. I'll refresh the bubble wrap if needed. This only applies if they're sending you some heads first (obviously). Good rule of thumb is if they can move around in the box at ALL, you need more packing. It shouldn't be an easy box to get closed.

Yup, that's how he sends them. You can see how they look in one of my vids here (that part starts at the 6:50 mark):
Thanks for all the input!
Currently working nights but I managed to get a decent amount done in a couple hours. Tomorrow I’ve just gotta remove the alternator, and then the heads. I know there’s already a diy guide on head replacement but here’s a few pics in case anyone cares.

looks good you still have quite a bit to go. The power steering res, alt bracket, and manifolds etc. I’d notch that Res once it’s out makes for an easy install. I’d also trash the cheap squeeze clamps and install some screw band clamps on the power steering res. Good luck. Maroon scotch brite works perfect for cleaning the decks
A few hours more today. After all of this I’m questioning whether I should ever buy another GM product-I’m sure we can all agree this is BS. Then again she’s so pretty. 😳
Yeah and then you will get all back together and get it out on the road. Ripping through those RPMs like it is going to go into orbit and all is forgiven.

Yea definitely worth the piece of mind. I got the car end of last October and I’ve only driven her twice so I can’t wait
