WTB : 7.3l heads and/or complete engine.

[homelessduck]

I took my heads into the machine shop to be hot tanked and mag'ed. Apparently the truck did not have a blown head gasket... It had a severely cracked head, beyond repair. So now I get to pay them $100 to get the boat anchors back..


Does anyone have any GOOD heads, or a complete 7.3l? I would also take a 6.9, not picky.. Just want to get this truck back together..

I got 2 sets of 7.3 heads, and a set of 6.9 heads

I have the 7.3 that I swapped with my 6.9. It had a blown head gasket, but ran fine before that. I think the stuck wastegate with boost well over 15psi caused it. I was going to do a valve job on it, put it back together and sell it.

I've got a running 7.3 but the problem would be getting it to you.

 

[fastass350]

why don't you have them fixed? They can be welded, I've never heard of being beyond repair...but ya never know. Who did you take them to?

 

[BlueBreadTruck]

too bad your not closer to me. I have a whole 7.3 for cheap

 

[homelessduck]

Are any of you willing to ship? Could I get some prices so I can figure out if it would even be worth the shipping costs?


Thanks guys.

I'm in Medford,OR . I can drive a reasonable distance.. Lindvig Machine Shop in Phoenix diagnosed them. He is like 85 and still does amazing work.

Go to ups and weigh your heads and ask them what shipping would be from 38585 to were you are, and that would tell you, i will ship anything as long as you pay for it

 

[fastass350]

someone on craigs list either here in Portland, or Eugene had a set of low mile rebuilt heads for 250 I think. Might look around, more than likely UPS won't ship them cause they are so heavy, but worth a look.

Shipping will kill ya! keep it within your driving range

 

[THECACKLER]

X2 on the shipping. Assume like $100 per head. Go local if you can. You can possibly pick up heads for that much at a wrecking yard with a "no cracks" warranty and get them Magged at the shop you just went to. Sometimes they cut you a deal after finding your first set DOA. Try to match casting numbers with your good head, i.e. C1 or C3. Good Luck.

 

[homelessduck]

$100 per head wouldn't be too bad if they are GOOD heads. I am not having much luck locally. The salvage yard wants $300 per head, and they only guarantee that they are rebuildable . They are about $450 each new.. I have had a few offers from craigslist, but I'm not sure I want to buy used heads from craigs... What if they end up being F'ed as well.. Lindvig's quoted me $200 per head for a full rebuild.

Ebay has rebuilt heads for $325.00 shipped free. Just look for them. Also Dieselcast Welding sells complete new 7.3 heads both in Oregon and the midwest.... Clearwater Cylinder Heads in Florida has them... Alabama has them too

 

[THECACKLER]

I-5 Auto & Truck parts in Chehalis, WA (800-551-4489) has some for $125 each.

I have a set of 6.9 heads that i will garentee to run because they came off my 6.9 thati blew up, i covered then in about an inch of greese and put them in the dry so they cant rust, the 7.3 heads could be anyone's guess, the engine ran years abo thats all i know
