I'm in California and they have a pull it yourself yard in town, I paided about 35 dollars w/core charge for a self pulled 235 "848" head off of a 61 chevy truck. I gave the used head a hand valve lapping job and installed it and it works great. Anyways, I have the old 848 head I'd part with cheaper than 100 if you want it. It isn't cracked (it was magnafluxed) but it had bad seats and one seat was completely messed up and caused a dead hole on my motor. I didn't have the money at the time to rebuild it so I got the one from the junkyard.
