^X2

Unless you have the cam caps, you've just posted 14 pics of a paperweight.

At least it was free.

can you line bore and go with over size cam barings ?

The motor has no cam bearings. Might as well pull the valves and scrap the head.

And some of the valves look to be bent. I guess you got a free set of valvesprings and a few good valves.

For most people no, but I did some research and apparently Eddy Fierro saves them.

I see how it can work, only would be concerned about making the caps out of round if they were too tight, but Eddy knows his stuff so.....

you can take junkyard caps, grind them, bolt them on and have the cam bores honed. Probably more work that it is worth.

You could probably buy a complete head for what the work to this one would cost.
