This is a repair completed on a '71 429cj cylinder head, sorry, I don't know if it was intake or exhaust port off hand... I understand there is a way to address certain cracks in heads in order to salvage them when they are rare, #'s matching, etc., I believe the process involved drilling and plugging (at the base of the crack) and then welding to prevent the head from further cracking... This is the type of repair that was was done on this particular cylinder head. From an engine rebuild expert opinion (if you qualify yourself as such , was this a good repair? Curious as to "those in the know"... and their thoughts. Thanks
