Does any one have C heads available for sale,
or know some one who does.
I brought a 25' Sleekcraft with a 455 olds bored .60 over and the idiot who put it together has J heads on it, which are somged?
I would be correct to asume, I am losing full potential out of this engine correct?
the Joe Mondelleo's book reconmends these Heads (C), and can get about 100 HP from them.
any info will help.

Oh just wondering sold a sleekcraft 2 years ago to a friend (buddy) but the 455 had the c heads on it. Extremly hard to find finally found some in a boat yard in an old carlson jet. Buddy sold the boat wonder were it is now? I'd kinda like to have that motor back!!!!

How recently have they been used?
are all the settings on, or do i have to put them in, such valves, springs, etc.
no cracks?
Don't know muck about K heads but how do they compare to C heads?
Thanks, looking to buy.
