Didn't VoodooGTX, in your other thread, offer you a head for $100?

Like 110k

The car ran fine, that is until I took the cam tower off and put it on my 84 that I replaced the head on.

I have a whole 83 parts car with LSD trans etc if you need other parts.

Both cars i bought were on craigslist

Yellow '83 was from a small town outside marshalltown and black 84 was from a local repair shop who said he couldn't "make enough" to justify rebuilding the engine.
