cyclinder head casting numbers on my L48
I just took the valve cover off of my 76 L48 and found the cylinder heads to be 882 castings. I thought that the 882 castings were the castings for the L82 engine. I had been told at one time that the engine was rebuilt in the past, and I have also checked the numbers on the block and found it to be numbers matching. I am not worried about not having an all original engine, I just thought that that number was the L82 casting. Could someone please clarify this?

All small block Corvettes and many other Chevys used those early smog heads from '74 through '77. They were/are quite common. 76cc chambers and either 1.94"/1.5" valves or 2.02"/1.6" valves. The valves were bigger when they were assembled for L-82 engines and they were also fitted with guideplates but that is about all there is that is different.
