Heads

I just blew out my head gasket the other day, and while i was thinking about it i thought to myself, "what if i cracked the head instead of just blowing the gasket?" With that thought in mind,i thought i would ask you knowledgable individuals for tips on how to replace my heads in the most cost-effective manner. Where can i find the parts the cheapest? know anyone who has some for sale? My motor is a 69 390.

Hey 'Bean, take the heads to a machine shop and get them magnafluxed. Then you'll know if they are cracked or not and how to proceed from there.
