Hi Michael-
Thanks for the positive feedback. I checked out your Photobucket albums from your link - nice chrome & detailing on your 63!

My engine block is a 250 from a 78 Chevy C10. The head appears to be from something else, since the plug seats are flat and not tapered like the newer 250's, and it's not integrated. I ordered the valves for a 250 and they matched and fit perfectly, so I don't think the head is from the original 230.

I'm able to put in quite a few hours during the summer because I teach and have most of the summer off - once school starts I don't usually have much time.
