Mac,

If you are looking for a head, you should place a post in the parts wanted. You will get more people responding.

Also, if you have specific questions on the heads, that should be placed into the Engine Forum.

I understand that you are looking local, but you will get more assistance if you split this up. As a guy looking for a 261 head, it is worth having whom ever you buy it from magnaflux/clean the head prior to purchasing. If it is good, pay the $50 since you will need to do that anyway. If it’s bad, you just saved shipping and the purchase price!
