391 FT Heads
Hi there,
I need to replace the heads on my 391 FT. Anyone have any? Someone with experience: is replacement or rebuilding a better option?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

391 FT Heads
Hi,
Well, if you rebuild the ones you have at least you know what yer getting. Put hardened seats in of course. Will last a long while.
Buy junk yard heads and you never know the history of the heads. Who knows they may also need rebuilding.
You might can find some rebuilt heads at a shop, not sure though.
I would use the heads you currently have with a rebuild. Mine cost ~$370.00 for the rebuild, thats new seats, guides and half the valves replaced if this helps.
Good luck,
Lee
