Default Cracked head on my 98 360

The engine was running on 7 instead of 8 clyinders so I checked the plugs...

One (cylinder 4) was wet and it was no fuel because I am running on Propane with a Kenne Bell supercharger.

I smell and taste the coolant on the plug so the headgasket must be gone....

I pulled everything off ( a lot off work) and saw that the headgasket was leaking between cylinder 2 and 4.

I checked the heads and saw there are cracks between the in and outlet valve!!!!!!!

I am not happy with it......

So I need a different set of heads, maybe used and a little better flowing then stock would be nice.....

I have looked on ebay and found these : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-E...QQcmdZViewItem

They look the same to me as the Iron Ram heads from Hughes engines and the also send me the flow numbers and they are the same.

Would this be a good choice??

I also will change for the Cometic headgaskets and ARP headbolts, any more suggestions on what parts to use?

Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

That's a great price for 2.02 exhaust valve, especially if they are fully built. I'd say get them. Hughes want 975 for heads w/o springs.
