I am ready to see some pictures!

 

Are these the heads you went with? I'm needing to replace mine as well, and I didn't see where you said which set of heads from Odessa you ended up buying. How's the project coming?

The page wont come up but the Oddessa heads I bought came as a pair and were $575 and they weren't the EQ monster...if that helps. I'll see tonight if I have time to find them k? The build is going good, gunna start on main bearings and caps today. I'll take some more pics to upload also.

 

Maybe it was this one then:

The first set you linked to are bigger valve heads. If you are going for mid-range, to upper RPM power, those would be the ones you want, but, they won't play well with the stock kegger. (you will see some gains, but, not as much as you would with a better manifold.)

The second set you linked to are the 'stock' replacements. They are better castings, with thicker decks, and are less prone to cracking. For a stock rebuild, or a torque motor, those are the ones you want.

 

Yes Rebel those are the heads I ordered (2nd post)

 

Finally got some time to upload pics!

 

I was thinkin' "Block heater??", but then, I see: North Dakota. And all becomes clear.

Lookin' good.

Is the valley sealed with something?

 

Haha yes a block heater is a priority up here! The lifter valley isn't sealed with anything, it's just that clean lol and thanks! ...FYI I put on the timing chain cover and water pump but never got pics, I'll be pressing pistons soon.

 

I've put in 1-4 pistons yesterday and today. Tomorrow I'm gunna try to get last 4 but I highly doubt I will, more than likely 5 and 6 pistons will go in. I'll get pics to upload also
