Call Aaron at CT in Rimbey. I never picked up that 24v head I got from Jamie when I found out it was cracked. He might still have it kicking around. If he does, I should hope that its a freebie.

damaged and the intake plenum is been torched somewhat

What are you planning on doing with the head? I have to go up north in a few weeks, I can drop it off for ya.

Its a scrap head and can't be used on a running engine. I do have another one, but I want to keep it. The valve seats are cracked. I have a dream that I can repair it, someday.

Aaron is going to bring me tates head that he has there. I'm going to make some intake manifolds (or so I hope) the tricky part is custom injection lines

bending SS tubing isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. you know all 6 lines have to be exactly exactly the same length though right. or your injection timing will be toast.

Get the straight lines that are equal length, bending won't be that hard if you don't have to have them factory looking. Look at any high hp puller, the lines look like ****, but they do the job, and thats what matters.

Well I am a pipefitter by trade so I'm sapposed to be pretty good at it but haven't really had to do it yet. I have access to the benders so I might just get a lenght of tube and mach it up befor bending each one like tate says my old farm truck ain't for looks.

If you're going that far as too bend your own lines, I would put a P7100 pump in your truck. What are you thinking about doing for intake mods?
