Troglodyte
Not to be confused with cheap head.
I just bought these on FleaBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370453308843&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT. They say you get what you pay for, so these should be good for a "Country Squire's" worth of cuss words and busted knuckles.
I was lured by the siren sound of low$$$.
Wish me luck
//////////////update Feb 2012////////////////
After a year of letting this project gather dust, I'm back at it (my job has been killing me - plus I've tinkered around with my '65 Coronet wagon).
Spent the whole day in the garage fly-cutting the pistons for the bigger valves in the Chinese heads. Was pretty straight forward, just time consuming.
The fly-cutters are from Isky Cams, 2.05 and 1.65, and mount on pilots w/ adjustable stops...
...pop the cutter on the pilot...then I added wheel bearing grease to the cutting face to capture as much of the shavings as possible...
...then set the piston to top center, lay the head on the deck and finger snug the center head bolt...
...and turn the cutter with a tap handle. Only have to put the head on and off the decks 16 times! LoL

Got 'em painted and bolted on today. Here's the block deck while I was cleaning it - shows the notched piston...
Here's different views of the loaded up heads...
4 weeks left to get 'er done and on the road!
