The guy that did the work is an old time family freind. He used to work for my dad up in AK many moons ago and now his son is one of my best freinds. Hes a really good welder/fabricator

Well T$ it all depends on which 5.3 heads you get. The 706 castings will be the smaller valves, or the 799 castings will be the larger valves. also with used heads you run into them needing new valve guides, always a fresh resurface, and stem seals atleast. I can do anything you want to a set of them, it's all about how much you wanna spend brother! as for the new factory GM heads I can get either set for just under $200 per head.

Go easy on it until you replace it.

Even if that weld is perfect looking, there are metallurgical processes that have been disturbed by welding on the spindle. On mild steel, yes, the weld can be the strongest part. When you're dealing with hardening processes done to forged components, things are different.

So I wanted to give an update on getting the new to me SS deq'ed. I bought it out of state with an ORY and failed deq in sherwood cause they looked under the car and saw the misteriously missing cats (even though the computer said they are working fine)... I debated getting some fake cats but then read on here that a catted y will get rid of rasp, which I had plenty of.
Anyway I ended up ordering 2 highflow magnaflow's on ebay and had Darrell's Economy Muffler welded them in. Went to deq yesterday and passed and the exhaust really does sound better to.
They looked under the car with the mirror's again and even after the guy passed me one of the other tech's came over to ask if he had checked the cats. Befoe this I have never had deq look under any car I have owned.
Just thought other Portlanders might be interested.
