The guy didn't know alot about them. I'll have to ck them out when I get them. If everything goes smooth end of Febuary looks like a easy goal to reach.

You have a few valves laying around :D or a hook up.

The guy's focking with me a bit, wants more for frieght he miss quoted :angry I'm working on a way to get them here from NY cheaper than the $145 he wants. :fight

Fedex Ground for around $95 delivered to a business addy seems the best so far.

I think he's shipping them LTL, that's why it's so high, I'd go with FedEx!.. :good

When I picked up all the parts for my 502, all the stuff had about 20 hours on it. The guy reused his Merlin heads but went with huge valves, so he threw in the Severe Duty intakes and the Inconel exhaust. I reused my heads from the 454 which already had the good valves in them. I knew the boat the engine came out of since it was new, so I know what kind of time was on the equipment.

Nope on the LTL, thats a UPS Ground quote :eek and if you do home delivery with FedEx they knock your head off also. Sending them to my old work and I'll pick them up there. :)

More Questions. What sizes are they and are they standard stems?

Finally worked out the shipping on the heads having them sent to my old work address for around $95.00 instead of to my house for around $150.00. He can't get to a Fedex till Friday so I'll have to sit and wait another couple weeks :(
