Title: WTB 2.3 head
Post by: Crazy88 on August 02, 2012, 03:28:21 PM
My bird is down and out at the moment. After pulling her out of storage and getting her ready to run, noticed coolant in one of the cylinders.  I had hoped that is was nothing more than a head gasket, but once I pulled the head and had it checked, it was discovered that it has cracked all the way from the exhaust seat into the water jacket.

Still, she has over 200K miles on her and I'm not quite ready to do a complete Coyote swap just yet.

If anyone has either a head in good shape or even a complete motor for a reasonable price, let me know.

Can you elaborate a bit more?  When you say "never been off" do you mean that you have a complete motor you would be willing to part with or just the head?

Hmm, price?

I have no idea how much shipping would run, but I would guess that it wouldn't be cheap.

Hmm, for that price, I'd have to go with a reman'd head, but thank you anyway.
