New head?

-
Is it a 273? If so I have a few pies of heads down by Ann Arbor if you’re in need
 
Well, I also have a 66 Valiant in the yard here with a slant 6 if you’re interested in the head from that.
 
You can get another head, it's so cheap and easy...unless you can tap deeper. Water all around that side of the head though.
*Bolt the rocker shaft on to lift it by when reinstalling.
 
Thanks for the tip rocker shaft reinstall. I also thought about tapping deeper but I don't know how deep the water jacket is. I'm hoping to get the engine out of the car this weekend. I don't think this is the original engine. ID tag and casting numbers don't match up. I'll know more here in a few days. I didn't realize that heads for these were plentiful and inexpensive. Thanks
 
Welding is an option. A competent machinist or welding shop can do this job. Though it may be difficult so find a place. (At least it is for me. )
 
Not a problem, I’ll be out working on it a little today as time permits, I’ll shoot over a couple pics just in case.
 
Does the stud still screw into the head? If it does, put sealant on the stud, screw it in and assemble it.
