Hey all.
as you know I have a 7afte but I need to replace my head due to crap threads for the manifold bolts to grab onto. I have no immediate plans for engine or forged work so should i 1. buy a reconditioned, skimmed, ported and polished and valved head. 2. just rip a head off a working 7a from the junk yard and carry on as usual. Cheers. J |
