My dad picked up a brand new 12v cummins head, not an aftermarket one, up in NY state, he was at empire farms days the last few days.

Planning on a port match, mild port and polish, o-rings and heavier valve springs.
Should I think about anything else? I'm planning on setting this head up so I can swap it onto my 93 with as little down time as possible.

Thanks,
Mike

Dont forget to do a good valve job, and you should be good to go.

How much is a genuine cummins head going for if yuo dont mind me asking?

I forgot to say it's a new loaded head. New everything, valve springs, seals, etc... Would you do a valve job on a something like that? I'm definately going to check and make sure none are leaking and everything is ok with it.

Wish I could tell you, my dad picked it up at some tractor show in NY state when he was up there. Didn't pay enough for it, $275 with 100 feet of 1/2" chain with it.

over sized valves

Probably decked...but I would check it. Factory heads are notorious for not being level. There are fine for Stock but need leveling if adding much HP!

24v head from Cummins is $1,600 to $1700... with a core exchange.

60lb valve springs, beehives springs if you can find them, ported or extrude honed, inconel exhaust valves, titanium locks and keepers, valves as big as possible.

Anybody got a good source for larger valves and such.
