Heads were a defective from factory in my opinion. If you have them you can get rebuilt ones from Clear Water Cylinder Head for short money. A lot cheaper than trying to repair then. I doubt they are only cracked in one spot.

302 wont fit with magnum valve train.

The carb should be fine. Will need to be tuned to your application.

The last 3 magnums I took apart, Jeep, Dodge truck and from some car all had the valves pounded in. Not a thing was salvageable with the head. The one block we're using with LA heads and external shaft oiling we made up.
