Now the interesting part
I have 3 cylinder heads
A87
w53
U67

will take some measurements and hopefully with some help the best head can be fitted
Remember in the UK we have 95,97 and 99 ron pump gas :)

The reasons your pistons are so clean, is because the cylinders have had water in them.

I don't know much about these things but is there a reason you're die-grinding the inside of the block? Is it just for cleaning purposes or something more?

the head gasket was replaced years ago and I did a de coke of the engine then, but it had done close to 10k before the engine was removed and dry stored.

removing excess metal left over by casting

With regards to the heads, go with the a87 if it's in good nick. This will give a good compression ratio even with the dished pistons. Give it a good port if you want a bit more power.

A87 is new old stock never fitted

A87 or w53 give the ugly67 a miss

Yeah go the a87, that would be awesome to have in the shed.

Ok 3 heads (I know this is all over the web :) (exhaust ports measured at widest points)
U67 first (which I think won't be getting used, it's seen better days)

Noticed that one of the rods has a different number cap guess I'm going to have to watch I don't mix them up

all mains and big ends or marked STD so if I need a crank regrind then should be an issue :)
