Advice Please

[BS]

I need to find bare heads for my 1988 Z-33 Crossbow. According to my mechanic I need GM Rectanular port 990 casting for Mercruiser 454 Mag.

Thanks for your help,

Give Ebay a try, most any engine part is up there.

Thanks for the idea, Ebay was the first place I looked and no luck.

Did you check a few of the head sellers other items section? I have found that quite a few offer a lot more than whats shown in the initial auction item.

Try here but they dont post prices. I do like edelbrock parts but I have never tried them on a boat. New technology on heads is superior to anything put out over 5 years ago-ie- you will make much more power with the same parts but it will not be cheap.

Good luck.

Have you tried posting in the "Wanted" section? It seems to work better then posting in the performance talk section.

Get the part and try here too.

Usually eBay has a bunch of BBC heads from peanut port FE's to all out race size ports in AL. Edelbrock's too. Pretty scarce today for some reason. Just keep checking back.

But here is exactly what you are looking for:

CHEVROLET BBC Heads Big Block Chevy 454 #990 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7903199802&category=34202)

P.S. - Save the "spacer plates" for when you eventually build your tall deck motor.

Added later: Just saw the crack in them! Pass them by!!

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up just letting the machine shop provide the aftermarket heads he carries.

Thanks again,
