The engine builder informed me today that my head off of my '55 300 is cracked along the exhaust seat and runner. About $300 to $500 to fix the "right" way(the heads heated up red hot and welded, then stress relieved, and then remachined to factory specs).

Would I lose anything by going to the H's head if I could pick it up real cheap?
