World 042750 heads
Got these off a running car for free.
They are 042750-1
*Heads use a 1.250 diameter spring. Seat pressure 100 lbs. @ 1.825

My car needs valve seals (gotten bad lately) and I'm starting to suspect might have a head gasket issue. The overflow is always almost empty and noticed many bubbles when filling the rad after a coolant flush. The oil is clean tho.
I've made the executive decision to keep this car as a cruiser/nice day daily so won't be spending any money on performance just maintenance.
My plan is to have these heads checked/cleaned up/freshened and just slap them on. Stock cam and rockers. Besides some minor tuning they should be good to go?
Thanks

BTW, these heads have the large 1.94/1.50 valves (for a 305), but their stem locations are shifted so that valve shrouding to the bore is reduced.

Re: World 042750 heads
I haven't ruled out the cam 100% (more like 80% lol) My plan was to run an LT1 cam if I do it. Also want to be able to tune it relatively easily. I've really just come to enjoy the car in it's anemic form lol.

I have an extra #049 GM L98 cam that would work great with your setup and easy to tune. Probably wouldn't even have to have one. PM me if you're interested.
