Cylinder head replacements for '73 L-48 Car...
I recently pulled the heads off my '73 L-48 car (casting #3998993) to find one of the heads was cracked. I am having a difficult time finding a used head. Can anyone suggest a source? Machine shop says 333882's are a good match. Black book says these were on '75-'77 Corvettes. Anyone had experience with these? Other suggestions?
Thanks - Rod :smash:

Welcome to the forum!
Your best bet would probably be auto recycling centers.... junk yards. I assume you're trying to keep things numbers matching? Might want to give http://www.contemporarycorvette.com a shot. They are a Corvette salvage yard.
I'm sure others here will be of more help though. This forum is a wonderful resource.

I have a set of 882 heads that I would be willing to seel you. They probably need to be sent out to a machine shop to be worked over. If you're interested, email me at e3pres@hotmail.com.
