Default Cracked Head (possibly both)

Anyone have some tips on where to buy some new heads and what type I should get for a 360 engine 5.9

If those are the EQ heads that Odessa is selling, that's a good deal.

Beware the shipping monster, hiding under the fine print.

I agree, but if the foundry overproduced on a rapidly dwindling engine supply, prices could drop as they have to get rid of the stock. In 10-20 years they'll spike up again as the hobbyists start looking for parts.

I doubt there will be any of these trucks on the road in 20 years. The computers and other assorted electronics were never designed to last that long. These aren't the vehicles produced in the days of old. Modern vehicles are disposable.

True, but the blocks very well could be. The magnum block is essentially the LA block with some tweaks, and as those blocks become more scarce, enthusiasts will undoubtly find ways to make the transition.
