My cousin might have one if you can wait till i can get in touch with him?

What state do you live in we're in Northeast,Ohio so shipping could be expensive?

I have some time. just keep me posted.

as far as welding... I have had 2 people look at it and said they would not touch it.

Where is it cracked?

And what's the use / application?

I bet it cracked in the exhaust valve seat.

Will do i'll try to get in touch with him no later then Sunday and let you know.

you should be able to see the cracks.

That's a little to far gone to fix Effectively.

Freeze up?

it was cracked after it came off a motor that lost a rod at 7500 rpm on this cylinder...

No damage in the chamber?

Head freeze up or something, leak, hydraulic and break rod?

Still in search of a head...

There is a Guy on the 385 Ford Big Block Facebook group that posted a single D0OE-R head for sale.

Do you still want pictures of the head my cousin has or not?

I got the one off facebook. Thanks

Mark he decided the price he gave me was not high enough after I agreed to pay him what he was asking and then said he was going to keep it... so I don't need anything .. Thanks

No problem,i think he plans on having the damaged one fixed so he can have a good pair.If he would have sold the good one he would be in the same boat as you and only have one bad one!!!

This damaged head in Post #8 is actually fixable with some Lock-n-Stitch Castmaster pins.  It might be involved and a little pricey in the general sense, but the value of the D0OE-R plus the cost of the port work for the replacement head would warrant it.  With the Lock-n-Stitch Castmaster pins the repaired areas would be stronger than the original casting.

Welding the head will make the surrounding material brittle, of which the thin casted area of the exhaust bowl in particular would be somewhat susceptible to a repeat failure alongside the weld bead.  Even stitching that bowl would be tricky but I can think of a couple of creative approaches to making a permanent repair there.

To view the integral strength of a repair using these pins, click the link below and watch the video--the repaired cast iron part was sawed into two separate pieces, then stitched together with the two stitch pins pictured, then located between the weights lifted and the hoist lifting them:
