You'll need to find some barrels and pistons on eBay and hopefully the head wasn't damaged too much.
Pics?

I had the pictures but lost them and put the engine back together so it wouldn't get rusted but I will definitely get it taken apart this weekend and post pictures of everywhere that I can . I'm afraid that all the metal and the missing valve is all in chunks at the bottom of the engine . Thanks for the quick reply I will get the engine taken apart today so that I can post the pictures thanks once again !!!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf you were to get the head it would be wise to replace the valve guide seals too.

For that probable part list and effort you should consider a replacement motor 200-600$ bucks. R

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationSo I've been searching for a good jug and set of piston. I figure I also need a new rod for the one that got banged up with the valve that fell. I don't think that I need a new head simply help finding a replacement valves for the two that messed up . can some one tell me what will work and were I can find the valves and the piston rod.
And will these rods fit. I only need one

When I dropped a valve in my 350, I had to get a new valve, guide seals and a oversize piston. I rode it home (I was 19) all hell was breaking loose in there. :lol: It didn't damage the rod and they had roller bearing cranks. I carried my old valve as a good luck charm. It looked like a marble. :dry:
Did you check out the links I put up?
