Default WTB 243 or 799 heads

Preferably low mile. So I don't have to do guides.
I'd like to port a spare pair and do some flow bench work if possible.

I know you do. I've been there.
My son and I used to have a Jr as well. Hauled it in the back of my pickup. Was more like 15 years ago though

Ours was gray primer. Gas engine. I was the only guy still using the pull start. My son's name is Scott.

After his first and only win, a kind racer painted the car for us. Black. I'll never forget that. I think 2001 was our last year.

I've got some Iron heads off my 6.0L you could have, not sure on the casting # they were a one or a couple year only deal. Not sure if they are even worth anything (other than scrap because they are heavy!)
