Help, WTB N42/N47 head/radiator in Dallas

HELP!!!!!

ZCOT member in a bit of a jam.

as many of you may know I had to pull the motor from my Z, found it had piston/valve interference and was shot.

Put in a low milage 76 N42 casting L28

It has a broken exhaust manifold stud, with a broken easeout in it which needs to be ground out and retapped. It also could use a a valve job. Cold compression - 135 130 135 130 130 100

The quotes I've recieved to do this work have been really really high.

Does anyone have a N42/N47 head which I could bolt on and go?

I also recieved bad news from the radiator shop, they can't rebuild my radiator so that will come from my available engine funds -ack- So I'll need a decent one of those too.

I have cash in hand (albeit not a lot of it) and will take any help I can get to get this this running prior to auto-x season!!!

If you can give me a day or two to look through the attic in the garage, I think I may have a couple 3 row rads out of the 280 I raced. They would need to be cleaned (rodded out) though, as I took them out because they weren't flowing very well.

I've also got a N42 head on a running engine, but the shipping would be kinda steep......I know it cost 65 to ship a diff from OK to me, so a complete head isn't going to be much cheaper from here to TX.:ermm:

And yes, the 280 core is taller and just a tad wider than a 240 rad...

picked up a low milage head and all the needed gaskets at zcarworld in houston, have a radiator on the way from radiators.com. Will try to get it put together this weekend. Haven't checked my funds to see if I have any left after buying tools fluids etc... hope so, sure could use some tires!

thanks everyone that helped!
