I know of one here in Anchorage, AK. Call Mr. Bill Brown at 907-441-9261. He took the '30 Coupe body for hot rod. Left the running chassis for sale. Says he drove it to his garage when he got it. Says he wants $3000.

Is there any diff btwn the 8BA and 8RT heads? I know 8BA is for pickup, but is that only diff?
