Pair of 379 348 Heads in California

[CDNpontiac409guy]

Just wanted to mention...
a fellow from Santa Ana, California, just contacted me... in need of some help.
He has an original 1960 348 car ( 250 horse ), which he has owned forever:deal .
The heads which he just pulled off, are irrepairable.

He needs a pair of rebuildable "379" castings.
If anybody is in the LA area, and has a set they can sell, please let me know, and I can get you guys hooked up:bow

thanks

Aubrey,
I was under the impression that just about any problem with cast iron heads
could be resolved, with current method's of repair. Guess I'm wrong ?

I met a guy at a swap meet a couple months ago that had ( I think ) some
379's for sale. I could try to contact him (he's about 1 1/2 hour's from me) if
your friend still needs a set of these. Shipping may be cost prohibitive.

Have you still got that single 690 ?

I met another guy recently that was trying to sell me a 583. He claimed it would work just fine with my 690. He was going to call me back, but never did as of yet.
I wasn't all that excited about the deal. I told him I'd rather have a 690. Maybe that's why he didn't return the call with a price.

What do you think would be a reasonable price to pay for a rebuildable, bare,
690 ?

Randy, this fellows heads are cracked up. Not worth repairing.
One of our members in Washington state, has replied... looks like it should work out.


690 ?
583 ?

ABSOLUTELY:cool:

I have single 690 head to trade for a 583.
The 583 must be totally un-modified.

You don't have to pay anything for a rebuildable 690...
just buy that 583, and I'll trade you ! :deal

REALLY need it for my Stocker. :bow

I've got a set in Nor Cal, if still needed. I'll check em out but They were in pretty good shape last I looked at them. I think they may have even been a 60 date code

This is great... thanks guys:bow

Tim, can you PM me with your email address ?
I'll get back to you with contact info for Tom.

he'll be very happy !

[bignbad60]

Sorry Aubrey, It's not going to work out, Gut wants the heads mag'd and gauranteed before he'll accept them. I'm not going through the hassle,for the price I was asking. I'm content on letting em sit under the workbench till I need them. So if anyone wants to step up with a set of mag'd 379's that they want to give up....they are still needed.

HHMMM... I'm out of the loop, Tim. :dunno
If they're cracked, you can usually see it anyhow. However, if you've bottomed the price, anything like hot tanking / magnafluxing would have to be over and above.

I just hope you didn't take up too much time with it.

Thank YOU to everybody who responded:bow
