Re: Where to look for # on 454 heads?

Commonly referred to as "781s", they're really decent as a set of street heads. "049s" are comparable heads. They've got the larger valve sizes which helps airflow.

Chevy High Performance did a BBC Head "bake-off" of sorts a few years ago where they rated airflow and gave head stats for a variety of heads. 781s were included. It may still be on their website.

While not the best for racing, you can do a lot with these heads. Just be sure you have them checked out for defects, cracks etc, before going too far with them. Also, you'll want "open chambered" pistons to match so you can optimize the compression ratio.
