318 Magnum cylinder heads

[SpaceDoggo]

I have a 318 magnum that I will be putting in my 73 satellite. The heads were cracked and I need a new pair. I'm wondering where I can find a good pair of cast iron heads. I don't have the money for aluminum heads otherwise I would get some. I have found two but I just don't know enough to make a proper decision.

You should be able to find 5.2l heads in a junkyard.
Try and find an engine with lower mileage 100 k or less.

Most of the time, the reason that trucks and SUVs end up in the junkyard is engine or transmission failure where replacement costs exceed the value of the vehicle....here in CA anyway.
In 2008 I toyed with the idea of running Magnum series heads on a 360. I pulled several pair and took them to my machinist. He kept finding cracks in them, mostly between the valve seats. He said that most of the 5.2 and 5.9 engines had cracked heads that posed no problems but he thought it made far more sense to start off with heads that had NO cracks. His reasoning was Why start with cracks that may or may not become a problem.
There are replacement heads available. I didn't check the link the OP provided....was that for Engine Quest? I thought that they were from Australia.

I'm willing to look in a junkyard but I would rather have a pair I know are not cracked and are reinforced.
