The cc for the LT4 heads is 54CC (54.4cc). If those are 63cc those are not LT4 OEM heads. Check the number on the heads and compare.

Here is proof.

Yes they are LT4 heads. No, the chambers have not been worked. First time the heads have been off. I will double check his work as soon as I gather the equipment. I didn't want to call him a liar. These folks build $300,000 race cars and engines. Mosler automotive. Claims to have checked it twice.

I am well aware that multiple sources list them as 54CC.

I remember in 1997 I went to the GM dealer to buy a brand new LT4 and the price was $7,000. If these people that build $300,000 race cars say the LT4 heads are 63cc then....they are 63cc.

That's kind of what I thought. That's why I am trying to find someone who has CCed one of these heads himself.

Just ordered my own 100 cc burette and stand. Will be able to check next week.

Maybe I have the only 63 CC LT4 heads ever made. Anybody want to buy them?

I personally cc'd the one combustion chamber on the 96 LT1 Vette heads I removed from my son's car last summer after a head swap. They measured 54 ccs.

We are talking combustion chambers, right? Not intake or exhaust port.
