I have posted in the looking for parts forum here. I was speaking with the machine shop that found the crack and he didn't recommend anyone locally to do the repair. Not sure if the casting number will mean anything to help with the debate on if it is the same as a 235 but here it is;
3365499
GM 9
EDIT; I later found a listing for casting # 3835499 for 235?
Thats as close as I can figure from the pictures I have. I will try to add a couple more pictures of the block and head once Photo bucket starts co-operating again.
Thanks for all the input. What should I be prepared to pay for a good empty head?
