Cracked Head @ Fuel Fitting...Now What??

[PowerstrokePete91]

I've decided to purchase a replacement head, and pay a shop to replace it. My intake plenum is leaking on that side too, so ill be knocking out two birds with one stone.. I know its gonna suck paying shop rates for this, but I don't have the time, or the shop space to get this done in a timely manner..

Any ideas on about how much paying a shop to swap the drivers side head is going to cost me?

I have a head I'll sell you for 100 bucks just cover shipping

Thank you for the offer. I am still trying to decide whether or not to buy a used head and rebuild myself, or just purchase a rebuilt/refurbished head off ebay. Will there be any issues with having a freshly rebuilt head on my drivers side, while not rebuilding the passenger side at the same time?
In a perfect world, I would get 910 springs, chromoly pushrods, and do a full top end rebuild. But I don't have the funds for that right now..

Just find a used head, then have the shop replace the valve seals, and check the guides, these heads don't really fail

I had the same thing happen to my passenger side head but luckily It just threw a rod before I had to pull the head off...
