Did you get a new engine for it?

Just my two cents, I would not just replace the head.....the car has been sitting.....it overheated enough to warp and crack the head.....who knows if it ever ran out of oil.....no way in hell I would just slap a new head on it and start a thousand mile trip.....

What people don't understand, if you put a new rebuilt head on the car....you will raise the compression.....if any of the main bearings are worn....the increase in compression will start making the rod knock......ask me how I know....also some little voice in the back of my head....is telling me I heard that not all 300d heads are interchangeable.....

Also add onto the list a new acc servo......when I cracks....you'll lose coolant....over heat again and kill the engine...also don't flush the cooling system! And buy a new radiator....
