i have taken the head apart and haveing it cleaned to take to rays crack service just to see if the head can be fixed and how much to justify which way to go. the good news is so far i havent found a crack in the cylinder wall so the block will only need to be honed so far need to get a piston to j&e to see what 4 pistons will be

Thats too bad. One bright thing though, I broke a Hemi head the same way in 1980. I was two years finding a good head to replace it. Now all you have to do is pick up the phone and you'll get a new one within a week.
I have probably bought 10 sets of used Hemi heads over the years and the one recommendation I can make is not to buy other peoples used up junk. Buy new and don't worry about it. im takeing my head to a guy to see if it can be fixed he can fix some bad breaks in blocks and heads if it cant be then the decision becomes if im going to get another steel head like it was or get a set of alluminum
