The 074 is the wrong head but with the price you must pay for even the later over the counter closed chamber heads they look a lot better.

During our club meeting at BillK's shop, he said that today's alloys are much better than those of that era, I would go with some modern alloys to take advantage of the technology. Just my opinion.

I agree 100% with the technology, it's just that I'm putting together a L89 and the heads are the key to the package.......

Thanks
