Junkyard,or you can try craigslist. It must have overheated A LOT to "warp" a cast iron head. You sure you cant just machine it? |

tried craigslist found one but kinda rough condition and when the thermostat worked again the gauge said 275 and was still rising this is when i went along at the taking apart things i could machine but i feel it would cost more than its worth |

Machine the head. You can get the machine shop to put a flat surface on it for (likely) cheaper than shipping a used head... which may also need machining. Besides, now is your chance to up the compression ratio by milling the head! - Mac |
