Unless there's a chunk of material missing (doesn't sound like it) you
can probably get it repaired. I've seen some L-series heads with badly
mangled chambers from dropped valves that were welded and reworked. Now,
as to where to get it done, I'm not sure. I'll be happy to check around
here in D/FW if you want.
You might give Corky Bell a call in SA. He used to be very into Datsuns
when he was up here. If there's someone good down there, he'd probably
know.
Having another to put on would be nice in any case. Minimum down time.
HTH,
Ron
