Don't go too far (put any $$$) into checking out the 290 heads...just wondering what kind of shape their in - have to figure shipping to zip 61727 - and I think they are around 50 lbs each...right?
Fedex is a NO-go where I am...they are terrible.
Vegas...YES - I'd be down with those parts...Right now we just have stock sheet valve covers and no air cleaner...and I'll be running one on top like that. Will need to get an extreme drop down base to clear the hood - been there done that.
She has 781 heads right now - I guess they are the open chamber version of the 290 - Either would work...but when I took the motor apart ($200 craigslist buy) - one of the exhaust valves fell out - snapped off clean on the stem. Probably going to be some issues there. I haven't taken them to the machine shop yet. I'm hoping to get the frame out to sandblasting next week and get the block to the machine shop - and I'll know if anything I have can be salvaged - those 290s would be the next way to go.
The car has a 4:11 rear through a LT1 T56 - So...I'd like to be able to turn some RPM on the low side...and that would be rectangle port heads and stuff - but she wants a daily driver and that puts me back to the oval peanut ports...
Obviously, I'm seeing what we can scrap together on the motor for now - can always re-visit it...but right now it needs to run...not win any 1/4 mile grudge matches.
I don't have any 700R4 stuff to trade...and I only have the one console right now. I do have two sets of stock 69 Vette suspension parts - a power steering system complete (less the pump).
I don't know if you need this stuff but I have a 69 fbody sbc and a BBC Muncie crossmember and a BBC mark iv stock oil pan that is was lightly used but has been sitting outside.

Oil pan is a big maybe. Would it be much trouble to measure it for depth at the lowest/deepest part from where it meets the block?
I have a pan - but it is a truck/RV pan and may be too deep for the Vette.
I have Yella terra rockers I believe they are 1.73 ratio.. need to double check
came off my Pontiac that has Roland racing heads
Guy who did the heads did the angles wrong on the studs
so put a shaft system on it now
Problem is I only have 14 as two broke due to the studs
Very pricey new $600-$800 plus
Will let them go for $80 and pay for the ride if in the lower 48 states
I may be interested in those heads. What condition?
Looks like the 290 would be the way to go on a flat top.
I took the heads to machine shop today...I need to know if they are good anyway. I will get a shipping price for you when I hear back from machine shop.

This sounds good - just need to figure out the exact part/part number so I can look up availability of individual ones to finish out the set. Don't know if these will fit under the valve covers yet then either.
