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.

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

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.
