Bill,
Can't speak first hand as to the head offered by Steve at
Northwest. It sounds similar to the head offered by Shadetree
for $565, but Shadetrees head is sans valves, springs, etc. AKA
bare.
The only comment I can make is that all other parts I've gotten
from Northwest have been of good quality, and I've been satisfied.
I also am looking real hard at one of these to go on the engine for
my '72 GT that will be going to the machine shop soon.
Harlan.
