The coolness was my point. I am pulling the 350 V8 during my rebuild because everyone has one. I found an 86 Mexican 292 with a bad head, but I bought one to replace it(without the AIR holes though). The cylinders are all just shy of needing bored, so I'm not doing it until neccessary. The mains are only -0.001" and the rods standard. I'm having a tough time finding all original brackets for alt, ps, and a/c. I couldn't get over the fact that GM discontinued the oil bypass valve. This will just be a weekend cuiser built to look good, not hit the 1/4 mile track. Thinking 3 single bbls, dual exhaust, and aluminuum dress up parts. Thanks. btw where can I see these 12 port heads?
I think the head is the ultimate "aluminum dress up part."
