Default STOLEN 409 HEADS

My engine builder and good friend, had his shop burglarized earlier this month. The jackasses crawled over several hundred thousand dollars worth of hemi parts in order to steal 4 torque wrenches and a customer's pair of 409 heads. When the heads were taken, they had just had new bronze valve guides installed. If anyone hears of a good deal on some 409 heads that match my description, let me know.
Thanks, Steve Hodges

I'm not very knowledgeable on 348/409 stuff, I was told that they were 425hp heads. He bought a pair off evilbay for $2600 to get the customer's job completed. They think the thief was looking for BBC stuff and simply picked up the 409's mistakenly while stealing in the dark. The dork also took a new box of 4.5" bore pistons and 8 mismatched rods.
