If you want to have it repaired,I know someone who is very good at it but a little slow!Due to a lot of race engine work.

This one is a little clearer.
The first one was plenty clear...that you very much. Mein Gott in Himmel , that had to sound as bad as it looks. The link to the craigslist post is an awful nice price.........I wish I did big blocks.

Wow!! That is hurt!! I saw an Edelbrock Victor that was in worse shape than that one that was repaired. Radar at R&J Performance farmed it out to someone but I can't remember who it was...
Probably the same guy who tried to fix our W5 head up in Iowa. Couldn't fix it due to the crappy aluminum. Larry Demers recommended him and was shocked he couldn't fix it. He had nothing but great things to say about him and they had sent some pretty messed up heads to him and they came back looking like new.

The aluminum head or block repair is not cheap,and on a head unless you have a lot of $$$ in port work it may be cheaper just to replace it than fix it.It always ends up costing more than the estimate they give you.And to be fair to the repair shops some times you find more damage than you 1st thought when you start the work. If I were you I would step up to the 440-1 heads,that way you would have room to go later. PS It would not be a bad idea to if you go the 440-1 route to save your heads and look for a good deal on a used head to replace the damaged head.That way you end up with 2 sets of heads.
