Thanks | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | The last 3 digets in the casting number are 848. They came on most 56 up pass. cars. They have a higher comp. ratio then the truck heads.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Also the average price for one?

Up to .060 cab usually be taken off, even more according to a lot of old info.
Good 235 heads are getting a little difficult to find as are good blocks and other major parts. Ebay and Craigs List as well as the Parts For Sale Forum here are good places to start looking. There is no dollar guideline for used parts, whatever your comfortable with is right for you. | | |
