lol these heads are refered to boat anchors and commonly found on the small block chevys. i believe there 882 castings or something but those are also 400 heads. so the heads i have just came on 350s thats all i remember. ill pull a cover and check tomorrow....

Re: trying to figure out what kinda "crack prone head"s i have

The heads you're likely referring to are the crack-o-matics. 462624 is the number on those. They are 1.94's. There are also a replacement heads with the same number that are supposedly pretty good with 2.02's.

If it ain't broke, there is still probably room for improvement.

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Re: trying to figure out what kinda "crack prone head"s i have

462624s jog my memorie to good, all sorts of night marish details on google about these and the thing is they have time limits. its not how hard you pound on em either. i pound on these things any chance i get, but i always know somethings bout to go ping or maybe when im just cruising.
