Default Crack Head on 502

Got a cracked head on a 93 mark V 502. Anybody know where to look for a new one? Would consider a pair.

I've got one (only one) from a Gen VI. Its bare.....no valves etc and you can have it for a hundred bucks and shipping from Michigan if you want it..

for what its worth....my buddy that works in the engine room at GM said they really cheapened up the heads on the Gen V and VI engines. He said the bean counters told them to thin them up until they start cracking to save money....said the extra warranty costs would be more than made up in lower manufacturing costs. I replaced mine with World Products after one engine cracked a pair after a mild overheat. The aftermarket heads weighed an honest 20 lbs more per head....maybe I should gone with the aluminum!
