WTB '74 cylinder head

[wsk]

I realize it's a long shot but I am looking for a 1974-dated cylinder head. Must be straight and undamaged, condition is otherwise not important as it would be gone through anyway.

Oh, and must be D jet not carb (thanks, Terry!).

The CSL guys are mad for the early heads. I could sell 1/2 dozen today for 1500.00 each.
Good luck to you.
There is a 74 carbed head in sac and a 76 si head there too.

Don,
What exactly do you mean by "early heads"?

The ones with 70's date stamps and poor cooling passages that led to overheating.

I still kick myself for not buying a backup '72 head on eBay a coupe years ago and am still on the lookout for one. I think the early heads were more often than not torpedoed by the original crappy friction fan clutch and to a lesser extent the 2 core radiator. With the upgraded fan, clutch, and 3 core radiator there is no overheating in any situation in my steamy climate.

Actually (and perhaps this is even more of a long shot) I'd be happy with a '73 block and head. Really just need the castings but a complete motor is fine too. Must be injected though. Thanks guys!

ok, maybe I am obtuse, but why are folks lusting after older heads?

To match the build dates on our cars if the original engine is still in there.

What are the differences between the carb heads and the fi heads?
Thanks
