I purchased a '76 Cee Bee Avenger last Sunday, 460 CI, Berkely pump. Unfortunately I did not take it to the lake first. The engine ran fine when I was first looking at it--we did not hook up water to the motor--no smoke at all. When I brought it home and hooked up the water, it hydrolocked. I pulled the plugs and got water out of 2 cylinders on one side and one on the other side. I did not pull it apart yet--I am trying to find if the seller is going to do anything about it. My first guess is bad heads. The heads are D3VE-A2As. I have a chance to buy D2VE's pr D0VE's from a guy on-line. Any advice on which of these heads is the better ones to use? I haven't been a Ford guy since the '70s when I was in high school. Of course I do am not certain what is wrong with the engine until I tear it down a bit. Hopefully the guy I bought it from will pitch in some money for the repairs.
