Hello,

I've got kind of an oddball non-Chevelle question. A friend of mine is rebuilding the 371 in his 58 Olds Super 99. He needs a pair of cylinder heads for the motor and neither of us can find anything searching the Internet. I was hoping someone here had a lead for us, other than swap meets, etc.

Thanks for your time,

Might try H.A.M.B. : http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/

You can probably use also the later 394 cylinder head. I would try searching for the web sites of engine rebuilders and email them your question.

Alex,
What is wrong with the heads on the engine ? Can you get me a casting number ?

371 heads are really prone to cracking.:sad:

Correct, one head is cracked and the other one has some water damage. Thanks for the H.A.M.B tip. Already have someone offering a pair for $1200!!! I was hoping one of the machinists around here had some on a shelf that a customer never picked up.

Hello Bill,

I'll get a casting number to post on this thread.

Thanks,

Alex, send a e-mail to David, davecranemuseum@sbcglobal.net He may have what you are looking for. He is a retired cylinder head porting guy/HAMB member from way back and has, or had, several Olds display engines in his barn/museum.

Long shot but it's your call; http://detroit.craigslist.org/pts/1010757361.html
