Got a cylinder head

[Joshua Strait <joshua13s@hotmail.com>]

First I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response I 
received about the needed cylinder head.  John Van Vuren was the closest to 
me and was willing to part with one so I took a drive to Wisconsin.  Getting 
the head out was no fun, for John at least, I was on injured reserve because 
I slashed my arm open at work the night before.  It required 7 stitches (2 
inside/ 5 outside).  I'll spare everyone the details but to get the head out 
it required a tractor, John's dad, a saws-all, two blades, and about 200 
feet of extension cord, so use your imagination.  I took the head to the 
shop this morning (along with the attached exhaust manifold and about 9 
inches of downpipe).  I am crossing my fingers and toes hoping everything 
works out.  It sucks now though, I have to take it easy and let my stitches 
heal, so no lifting cylinderheads for a couple of days.

Thanks again for the responses
