Cool

here is a basic "how to "

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/S.../1636/bhg.html

you shouldn't have any problems just keep track of every part

plan on a few hundred bucks to have the head looked at to be sure it's square and not warped

on the very rear of the head there are little tiny plastic dots they are indicators of severe heat
severe heat would cause warp

Thanks guys you have been a big help. I cant get the head bolts loose and I am afraid I will strip out the head of the bolts. Is there a trick? Do all the lines have names? lol. They seem to be specific angles and everything.

It takes a lot of muscle to get them out. You wont strip them. Just use the 10mm hex head and make sure its in there good and start loosening. You'll be tired by the 5th or 6th one. By the 3rd one I was dripping sweat. But thats only because i didnt have a breaker bar. And use craftsman tools to get them out so if u mess it up u can take it back and get another one. I broke the ratcheting mechanism on one trying to get them off.

Ok the hex bolts on the top of the head in the middle right? I only saw like 4. This car is confusing the crap out of me.

They are all over the place. Lol. Just run a flashlight by the cams on the inside part of both cams. You'll need to rotate the cams to get to 1 on each side. Just take an adjustable wrench and look for the part that is squared off a little and turn it a bit.

There are 14 head bolts with the 10mm hex holes. The larger aluminum ones, (4) hold the plate for the spark plug boots, the others in the head go into the water jackets, leave them alone. You can take off the ones that hold the spark plug boots, I think they are 12 mm, but it isn't necessary to remove them, but cleaning under them is easier. Just get a good 1/2 in breaker bar, about a 6 inch 1/2" extension and the I use hardened reducer to 3/8" and then the 10mm allen socket. They are on at least 55 to 60 lbs of torque. And like was mentioned earlier, make sure the inside of the head bolt is clean so you can fit the allen socket all the way in the bolt.

Let us know how it goes.

No wonder I couldnt get them off. Anyway I couldnt tell that the head bolts were allen heads I was trying to fit a socket down in there. haha. Wondering why it wouldnt fit. Talking about torque one time i helped my friend put some race heads on his 71 Dart and they had to be torqued to 180 pounds. That was fun lol.
