I have a set of them got'em for $100 with one slightly damaged it has a very small chunk missing inbetween 2 chambers ,Can it be welded back up? Also theres some features that Ford racing lists for this head like the webbed rocker mounts that mine doesnt have and its stamped y-302 thought it was a y-303 head ??!?!? anyone know what head it is .

The difference between the Y-302 and Y-303 is that the 302 is sold bare, the 303 complete. I good machins shop should be able to repair it. If just one head is messed up out of the pair, you could buy a single bare head.
Pics would help.

Did you get them bare? Or do they have all the valves etc? Nice thing about aluminum is that it can be repaired alot easier than cast iron. I've seen worse that were fixed..
Are those the heads that you have in the sig as milled?

Well, you might look at replacing the head. If it needs repair, all the valves springs etc as well as a valve job, a new one might be cheaper. Get a quote for the repair because a new one would be around $500..
