[AJD] JD Lindeman crawler-Parts

[Dean VP]

Greg:

I bet they are really inexpensive too!  :-) Although I picked up a NOS 520
block very inexpensively so I guess it's possible. Maybe the Green on those
parts is just paint!  :-) I'm curious, do the NOS heads come loaded with the
valves, springs, guides, etc or are they just blank heads? Enquiring minds
need to know. :-)

I have multiple B1305R blocks and the corresponding heads new in the crates
so the Lindeman 
project csouldn't be all that tough.
Sounds like it's worth a look
