Anyone got a set of good heads laying around, just found out both of mine are cracked. I wonder who the genius was that put small valved smog heads on a boat motor? Im also selling a 96 honda civic to fund the new motor, Unless someone has a boat they will trade for it Well i had to ask

I have some that I'm going to put on E-Bay but they are F heads and start at $1000/pr  up to almost $7K for one pair.  I guess collectors want them to make their 442 show cars perfect or something

Nevermind its being chitcanned. Im going with a 454 BBC

Sounds like a better plan.

The K's and the Ka's are the correct marine heads. The diffrence between the K and the Ka is that the Ka has hardened valve seats cause it was manufactured after lead was removed from gasoline. Both are considered big valved.

Thanks; mine are Ka.
Rod provided me with some info on them but I was just looking for a little more.

When I orginally purchased my boat it had a 455 in it , I shitcanned it and went with a 460.

So you downgraded even further uh?

i got a pair ok "k" heads for sale they are attached to a running motor and then attached to a running boat

2savage4you what brand of Olds 455 engine mounts and pump does your boat have?      

 Hardin Marine engine mounts, the front mount broke. Can it be welded? and the pump is a Jucuzzi WJ that was just swapped out last summer with the Energizer kit from American Turbine.

Sanford(aka Rod) dont you have all the part in your back yard for him?
 

I'm a little waisted right now, thisa is going to take me some time   

Yea, it can be welded. If you do go to a BBC, get either Hardin Marine or Nicson engine mounts, you won't have to move the stringer feet!, make your self a pair of 1/2" spacers, one for each side of the engine, for the front mount, and that BBC will be in. 

 Thanks, but this boat is going back to the 455 olds, after i rebuild it and find a set of heads. Now the other boat i just picked up has the 454 in it but it to needs a rebuild and a pump kit. Has not ran in the last nine years. It has the nicson motor mounts also . So i can weld it, great that will save me another $175 what is it aluminum?

 Thanks for the help, when i start this pump kit i will probably be on the phone and on this forum more than i am in the boat. First time wanna do it right

yes, aluminum, take it to a welding shop and pay to have it tig welded   

 Just got it cleaned up, now i can take it down to the welding shop. One more thing to check off my list.

 Thanks hotrod. i would have just bought a new one, now i can save some $$$$$$$$$$$ i like saving money. It means i have more to spend.
