does anyone know how thick the heads can be before they are milled too much
,i put an old 288 head on my 327 engine and was shocked at how close the top of the piston was to the plug hole ,now am spooked that it may have been milled to often ; what size plug fits in the 288 head
theres a company in the southwest called empire who will cast you a finned head for your 327 a la the venerable old evans 50's hot up option but I think they were 2000 -2500 $ or so
