York on 454 question

If the 2-bolt flange is available, maybe the head could be pulled and milled flat there. It's going to be basically at atmospheric pressure so sealing shouldn't be too hard.

How will you repair the broken intake fitting?

Duct tape mixed with hopes and dreams. Haha. Can prob weld something on there and make it work.

I think you could just change the top plate to fix that. I bought a whole reman compressor at the parts store for a volvo, back then I think it was $140. Not sure what it would be now.
