Re: Need some info

ok, thanks guys. So do you think these heads are anything special or just your run of the mill heads?

Re: Need some info

The heads are off a 307. Run the numbers thats the only way to tell. Any small blosk head will work on a 350 but a 307 is a low horsepower engine so I would guess they are a large cc with small valves.

Re: Need some info

according to mortec the heads could be off a 307 OR a 350. Either way they're probably smogger heads with valves as big as 1.94, 1.50's at best.

Re: Need some info

The book I have only shows it to be off a 307, I dont always trust the internet , off course this is an old book. I don't doubt it could be off a 350 ,but I would still bet this is a low performance head.

Re: Need some info

Agreed....I don't have any books and just rely on mortec but they could be wrong. Like you say low performance either way.
