So after 2 years of ripping down and rebuilding my 74 2.0, I finally got it back in this past week and started up. Turns out I need new heads/current heads to be rebuilt. I've done a little research and made some calls and it looks like I may have to dish out the 3 grand to get new ones. Does anyone on here have any advice or anyone on here selling 2 liter heads? I'm beyond frustrated as this has been a very length project but at this point I'm willing to do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I am confused.
You spent two years rebuilding an engine and now you believe ou need heads?

What did you do when you rebuilt the engine?
What makes you believe now that you need heads?
