I found this pristine Aluminum head for a 359. It didn't take much to cherry it out. This will go on the 359. The head sits on the back of a 54 Buick Skylark, some say the value of those is now 1/4 mill. That car has to done in time for Barrett Jackson next year. Anyway we not to experienced with straight 8's but the head holds the trunk down on the Buick. The line bore check is what the forum blood, guts and beer is all about. MSR Cookeville TN |

This how I check line bore on a 9 main 359. This motor was built by a Packard Pro who screwed it up. I don't know much about Packard straight 8'S so I drink 9 Buds. MSR Cookeville TN |
