'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist

Gotta ask, as none of us are there to verify the condition. Tim is correct though, you could lap in some new valves, install good springs and be done. The reason I'm a little skeptical is simply because used heads are just that, used. If in the event the guides are worn out of spec, and valves are equally worn, springs not springing...you get the idea, that's why I brought up that you may not be ahead excepting the cost of surface machining. I've bought many used parts...some in near new shape, others nearly dead...your , mileage may vary.

As far as your 904 being eaten up behind a near stock 360, I will say there's no better time to do a rebuild than when the engine is out.

Supposedly 95k on these heads overall. I'll bring my spring compressor when I go to see them; that'll give me an opportunity to check valve guide wear.

A shame the 308 head springs don't swap over; everything points to them being virtually new (though I will admit that it's more or less impossible to say for sure).

I'll jump the creek of the 904 when it eats itself up - if it does. For all I know, it might be in good shape.
