Can a complete head assembly be purchased?

Entire head.......new valves, new camshaft, etc. Kinda like a "cash and go". I'm considering that option since the camshaft in my truck is junk. Still runs, but on a couple of the "lobes", the chrome is worn out.

Thanks.

You bet. Google it. I finally wound up getting one shipped in from South Carolina for $175.00 witha $50.00 core. Not a bad price at all. Had the valves, springs, guides, cam...everything. dropped right onto the engine fairly easily, which is good, since as a mechanic, I make a darn fine radar tech!
