[TR] TR3 Head Question

[Bill Brewer]

     I am rebuilding a Standard Vanguard head for a '53 Morgan. The head has
a crack or previous corrosion in the middle of the water jacket between
cylinders 2 and 3. There is like a little triangle on each side of the
middle and there is a crack and some of the metal eaten away connecting the
triangles. It wouldn't have to match up with anything else on the block in
this area and the area where it meets the cylinder liners is still good. I
am trying to avoid shipwrights disease. This head already has hardened valve
seats and was lapped in. Any downside to using this head?

     A TR3 head would bolt on, but that is shipwrights disease in the
making.

    I have a spare Standard Vanguard head that last ran in the '50s and is
really rough. I could build this, just a lot more time and money.

     TIA,
