My wife would love them, she didn't know you can buy red Lobster biscuit mix, me, well bread like that is off the table until I get back to 180 lbs, 11 lbs away from that mark.

I have a couple of the blue sticks I use. Didn't have anything loosen up, but not convinced that it holds as well as the liquid from a few I have taken apart where I remembered which kind I used.

But he ain't far from wrong. Stuck my head out the back door and the wind is coming from the rain direction 
. Looked at the Weather Service, tomorrow it's 70°, snow level is 5000', and thunder and lightnin' possible
Yep! But the norm for this coffee crewHey guys. All back read. Bunch of nonsense.

ABSOLUTELY
Back in the day when my daily drivers was interesting.
And we wouldn't want it any other way!.
Don't get me wrong, I love all the things my 2007 Z71 offers, 131 thousand miles on old Blue now.
Went to my granddaughter's christening/baptism Sunday
at a different Church than mine. Had a great time. She's now 7 months old. Beautiful little child. Proud Grandpa
Family is a great thing, you are a blessed Grandpa Mitch
Received a "Sight Unseen" response from a machine shop that I'd be looking at $500 - $700 to recondition the heads, depending on overall condition (of course). Tough to make a blind estimate so I get it.

What heads are those? You might find better to have rebuilt. Closed chamber. Swirl port. Already hardened seats...
Holy crap?!
For that price, look at Indy Cylinder head, they were selling re-cond and ported iron heads for under 700 bucks
Heads off of the 65 273
That's going rate here too.
So I then see these on FB for $800...(includes factory 4bb intake and Carter carb I don't need)
"Heads, Springs, Keepers, Retainers, Valve Job - All New
Heads have adjustable rockers that are very nice and pushrods for a hydraulic cam. Intake is a 1965 HIPO."
Offer em 550 and put the intake/carb back on FB for a couple hundred...
You can hardly do your heads for that kind of money. Those ar aftermarket rockers. Probably Crane or Isky.
Casting number looks correct for the 65 block. What might have they done to them that would create an issue with the stock bottom end?
Advance Auto had rebuilt #302 heads. They have hardened seats and work good on 273's.
Nothing. The old wives tale about new heads on a worn short block is bunk. If the short block is worn it is worn. Putting fresh heads on won't make it better or worse.
Hmmm....
