Im looking to buy a 582 for my KF2 project. Ive read the blue head is less prone to cold seizure due to an improved coolant system,but the only one I can find is a new one for $5600 less gearbox and starter but has exhaust and carbs....
The other option is grey head. There are several for sale. One for 3000 with no carbs, starter, gearbox or exhaust, but overhauled.
I have a gearbox and a starter, but the only carbs I have are 2 503 carb that would hAve to be rejected for ab0ut $160 for both. I can keep looking just now sure if I should hold out for the blue head. It is that much better engine>??
Thanks for any advice.... Mark
