Found another use for stock heads, besides doorstops, lol. Was in a pinch and needed something to set up the spool on my press back when I was changing the gears in the cuda.
Might keep a pair around if I need to do this again, lol.

Go out in my shop right now and look in the driver seat of my black Duster. I’m doing some chassis work so I threw a blanket on my seat and piled 2 W2 heads, 4 Edelbrock heads, and on the floor have two five gallon cans (8 gallons) of kerosene in the to simulate my weight. And it still wasn’t enough. lol.

Edelbrock headed 408

I use my dad and two 50 lb barbells for that, lol.
