I sold a set of Ga heads on eBay, like $240 or something rebuilt. Good heads. Might be a difference on the Olds between stick and auto trans, I dunno, I seriously doubt there's a difference. Wouldn't make sense to have two different types of Ga heads...

 No the G a heads are off a 1972 442 and a manual tranny. Should be a good deal. I HOPE. He wont answer my email for the shipping cost, i just hope i dont get raped if i am the actual buyer.

I never really wondered about that 442 stuff. Its a sick individual that knows a bunch of Oldsmobile trivia. You guys must fart dust.

You can install big stainless valves in any of the 455 heads, and port them. Fill the crossovers with aluminum, weld the exhaust port bridge and they come out all the same, and cheaper than the Ebk heads. Read the "Practical Olds Motor" article in Hotboat from a year or 2 ago, it explains much about the shortblock too. TIMINATOR
