i got a set of brand new zz4 heads from this guy for 200 bucks...i know its a steal. long story short i blew my mustang motor and i need a car asap, the heads are bad on my trans am (LG4). do the zz4 heads work on a 305?

 

Actually that might work pretty well, if they are the aluminum 58cc chamber ZZ4 heads.

 

theyre the aluminum l98 heads, so i think theyre the corvette ones, what about pushrods? will the lg4 ones work? the new heads have roller tip rockers on them

 

You'll probably need stock length, so yes.

 

do i need to take the radiator out to put in a new camshaft? i have a new performer layin around and since i have the top end of the engine off i was wondering how much of a pita that would be

 

The radiator and AC condenser will have to be removed in order to slide the cam in level. Since it's already drained it only takes another 5 minutes to take the radiator out.

i didnt remember that there are head bolts under the exhaust manifold as well...crap. well the exhuast manifold is hanging now and the gasket was made of pure rust now and crumbled apart in my hand...i paid my friend 300 bucks to change the head gaskets almost a year ago when one of em blew. it almost looks like it was just the intake manifold gasket leaking antifreeze and he changed the intake gasket and got 300 bucks from me to change the head gaskets...to make a long story short he put 2 plug wires in the wrong position and i drove it for a week and the power became less and less and it backfired at high rpms, then had no power at all, im pretty sure the valves got burnt off. so now i gotta change the heads because he messed up the wires. and i found out i paid him and he didnt do anything...do u guys think i should take him to court?

 

id take him to meet louisville slugger if he did that to me... Thats just plain wrong. At least he should have told you. In all honesty, if you dint get any written recipts from him i dont think theres too much you can do. Its jsut his word against yours.

 

ok...u know billy-bob from varsity blues? he could be his twin brother...huge, but still he got 300 out of me and the motor isnt running now cause of him, there must be something i can do

 

first off, do a leakdown or a compression check to see if the valves are really shot and are leaking. If theyre not, then you dont need heads quite yet. As for the oaf that ripped you off, well... your on your own on that one All joking aside, it sounds like youll just have to take it as a loss. Thats one reason i do all my own work, to avoid things like that. Ive had enough bad experiences, damage, and lost money through crooked mechanics with my previous cars.

 

hes a ford man and drives an 87 gt...i would love the smell of cooking horse meat, give that baby a bath in gasoline and dry her off with a match...
