Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines !980 Chevrolet truck Head change ???

First before you start thinking about changing the head have you checked the smog laws to see if you can???
Have you tried adjusting the valves? I'm assuming they are adjustable. You might check the compression before and after adjusting. 8-)
If you change the head yes will have to modify or replace the power steering bracket, not the pump in most cases.
