Hi

This are ordinary L71 solid lifter heads, the same installed on L71 Vettes, aren't they ?
I have a 68 Camaro 396 CI 375 HP engine + heads, dated early 68.
The block is bored to 427 CI .030 over about 20.000 Miles ago.

What dates are you looking for ?

Default More Specific Info?

Which heads exactly are you looking to locate??

The '67 Camaro with the 396"/375 should use the "3873858" heads. These were used on the Chevelles, the 427" Vettes, and the 396"/427" Impalas!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. I know of at least 10 heads here on Long Island, 2 of which I have in my possession for a '66 427" Vette resto. I don't personally own any of these and I hope they aren't the specific ones you need. They sell for "telephone numbers"! I believe they are the only castings that have the (4) 1/4-20 holes adjacent to all the exhaust ports??

Thanks Gary, I will pass the info on to the owner. He says he wants
"391" heads.
I do not have much experience with the big motors as far as correct #'s go, just trying to put something together & get the restoration job.
Regards,
CK

Hi

Are you sure that the 68 Camaro used the 1967 391 heads.

My heads are 840 dated Feb 68 and came of a 68 Camaro.

Default "391" heads

CK,

I have a pair of "391" heads. They have not been rebuilt yet. No porting, helicoils or modifications. I have had them boiled and magged. They are a matching pair, dated D17. I also have a late J-'65 dated, 4 bolt 942 block. Fresh at .030". Send me an email please: ak67camaro@yahoo.com.

Thanks,
Jim.
