<VV> 140hp Head Repair

[John Dozsa]

Gary,

Suggest you contact Baltimore Head Works.  See: 
http://www.baltimoreheadworks.com/
The owner is a good friend of mine and he does excellent work on 
aluminum heads.  His web site shows his capability.  He has done Corvair 
head work and has all the equipment to do it properly.
