Thanks, memike sorted it out. I got myself warmed over bad language first, tho.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Don Cherry rocks! Red Poppies for all. Just a shout out for our Northern buddies on here. The “Coach” is the best. He has always supported both militaries. Screw the TV execs.
Wow from points to a rebuild ask him if he has pics sends me this. Yes that is his car!

So this kinda weird guy over here has a set of Indy 440-C heads with matching ported intake. He bought the car with the engine in it and the seller said it was freshly rebuilt.
On the dyno it turns out one of the heads is cracked and repaired between the middle cylinders. Looks like a good repair (to me) but the head is still leaking (coolant, I assume) and the guy said oil pressure was off.
Now he’s got a set of Promaxx heads and another very hot intake and wants me to make an offer on the heads and intake.
I know the intake is for RB but it should work with an adapter on a B block, right?
The guy has no clue about camshafts and seems like the “buy” guy as opposed to “wrench”.
Let’s assume the following circumstances:
- I know a guy who has offered to weld a different cracked cylinder head before.
- I get to show this head to him for assessment before finalizing the deal.
- I can get the head welded for a good prize, 1-$200.
What would you guys offer?
Indy intake + cast iron heads, one cracked. What’s it worth?

"The Wall" is keeping them out!!! no, not really......
Including valves, springs, and anything else? And have the heads been ported, messed with? migh not be worth much if they have been ported incorrectly....
And, why would a crack in a head cause oil pressure issues? hmmm...of course unless it really overheated because of the loss of coolant ,
Anders I would run from that one for sure. There are better deals out there I am sure.
Valves and springs. They take offset rocker arms, not included.
I hear you, Ray.
I would run as well.
I find the oil pressure remark odd, too. I think it’s unrelated. Like I said, the guy seems like he isn’t very knowledgeable. Didn’t know the difference btw B and RB.

Though the plan was to keep them in! That's what Pelosi wants anyhow!

I thought it was to keep the Cali citizens from moving out of the state. Look at the dude they just elected District Attorney for San Francisco.
Cheryl was so disgusted she changed our flight next year so we aren't doing a lay over there.

But that does depend on the price tho, right? I mean, one head is ok and the intake is fine.
Dam that guy has this also!

Remember the NRA is designated a terrorist group there and all members could get arrested at any time. Crazy place glad I am out of there.I thought it was to keep the Cali citizens from moving out of the state. Look at the dude they just elected city attorney for San Francisco.

San Francisco Officials Designate NRA a Domestic Terrorist Organization
oh, we are plentyfull.
I wouldn't buy a pair of heads knowing there was an issue. The seller is getting rid of them for that reason I'm sure.
There could be a unseen crack into an oil passage....Irreparable...
And a lap top. The one I had at your place last year....Works great....Thanks man you can steal my battery anytime!
No problem apparently then charging full price!!
Man gave him a quote on a distrib number had no idea he had Canadas version of Jay Lenos garage.
I took a hunting class this summer, and some days ago I got a letter from NRA if I was interested in becoming a member. My wife asked, are you going to sign up for this ? I answered, I don't know, if I do, we can not go to San Francisco, because then I can get arrested. So, there you go.
