You could just buy the complete heads and sell the valves, springs, plugs, retainers, keepers and stuff easy enough, I doubt they are going to sell it much cheaper bare than assembled. I know I wouldn't mind finding a good deal on some of that stuff.

Thanks for the info! There isn't a left and right pn? I would think there is , but I only ever order this 3 times, the 1st one I received didn't have exhaust bolts holes drilled and both ends of the head were not drilled for oil drain back, the 2nd 2 were drilled for drivers side exhaust and had drivers side drain back drilled in the rear of the head, also one of the pair had the last exhaust bolt hole broken in to the oil drain back. I used that for the passenger side, tapped and plugged the drain back that was now in the front.

The other casting # I have is (posted the wrong #) but it looks like it's the srt392 casting # I ordered [quote][/quote]one today so when it shows up I'll post a picture.

Here's what arrived today. Bare castings, no machine work, seats or guides. Very disappointed. Hope they take them back! Not even Big Gas castings either.

When I looked up that part # is shows as a raw casting... I can only imagine what it would cost to machine them.
I agree with hotroddave, then at least you know what your getting is machined already.

Who did you get those from? 05045468AE is the BGE head I buy from my local dodge guy, on back order till 8/1 I just have one right now. Like I said earlier I only ever ordered 392 head 3 times but I never got one as unfinished as that. John every set of W5s and 8s I ever ordered came un-machine.

it won't you have to go to a dealer, every where I try online I get the same thing, either, "I'm sorry that number doesn't exist" or I don't show that as being valid. my guy found it by dropping the 1st 0 and searching for 5045468AE. been paying
I ordered my 5037369BD heads through Eastcoast, but like I said I never got a head that raw. Summit also sells the 5037369BD under 05037369BD .

I may be missing something here, but aren't the part numbers in the links provided above, by L4staero and A990, what you need?
68280507AA 68280506AA yes if you want complete heads.

Can I ask what's wrong with the complete head? are the valves not good for heavier springs?
Thank you Kiddart
