Struck Gold in a old machine shop today!
Took my 351c 2-V heads in to the machine shop to have them
cleaned up and get the pedestals ground down and tapped
for guide plates. While the machinist was putting my heads
in the hot tank I decided to look around.
What did I come acrossed but a set of 71 boss 351 Quench
combustion chamber heads. The smallest chambers I've ever seen on a cleveland head with the biggest valves.
When I asked the mashinist about them, He said that a guy dropped them off about six mounths ago and never came back to
get them. I then said and there still here,no one bought them.
He said there are not to many clevelands around any more and
that not to many people wanted them.
He had just put new valves and Guids,springs,seals.
Well he TOTALLY rebuilt them, plus they allready had guide plates. So what did I do, I yelled HOW MUCH?
He said $500, I said very quickly I'll be back first thing in the morning and put my springs on there please.
He said they will be ready for you!
I struck gold in that there Machine Shop, think I'll do some more looking around tomarrow. HE! HE! HE! Happy Days.

PS I found an old Torker Intake manifold for the 4-V cleveland heads, already. It just keeps getting better. What a wonderful Day.
Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
