LaSalle cylinder heads

WTB cylinder heads for 1927 LaSalle 303.  Will use HC heads from later years if necessary.

I have several heads up in Mass. but I'm in the Caribbean until late June. If you still need them then, email or call me at 340-998-5199.

Wayne thanks for taking the time out from sunning, swimming, diving for lobsters, sailing, fishing and your other "chores" to reply to my post.  I'm happy to hear that you have some heads in stock.  I hope to NOT have to wait four months to finish the motor rebuild, but if I have to ... I have to.  Meanwhile do you know off hand if you have the standard 303 heads or if you have the HC heads?  Do you have any ideas where I might get some now?  I also have the two small hand throttle gears on back order from Garth Carrier.  He is having a hard time getting them made.  You said that you also have those in stock.  It is really inconvenient for me having you in the Carrib, but I'm sure that you don't share my sentiments while you are basking in the sun.  Right now it's cold here and there is a very sloppy mix of snow and rain coming down.  Can you feel my pain?  Do you know where I can get a #5 Buffalo wire wheel for my 1927 LaSalle roadster?
Thanks John Micciche

John, I must say that after watching the state side news and weather that it is a bit warmer down here with a lot of Blue all around. Unfortunatly I've been in my 5' high engine room for two weeks swapping out one of my 21KW generators along with cutting out 55 year old plumbing as well as cleaning and painting my engines and beds in a room that's 115 degrees with a gen set running all the time next to me. Haven't seen much of the wet stuff in a while! Ahhh the joys of boat ownership!!  Any way,try John Carlin at 712-659-3635 for wheels. He has a barn full of wheels and some good stories to go with them. As for the heads you might try Lester Wax, he's in the directory but my parts book shows different numbers for  303 . Each year had a different number other then 1930 and 1931. That's not to say that they won't work if the bolts line up. I have noticed a difference in bolt holes from a '29 to a '30. If still needed when I get back, the best way to make sure would be for you to send me one of the old head gaskets and I can make sure it's a match with the ones I have. Most of my parts are sepperated by year but some times things get mixed up and put in the wrong area.
