you have the second most desired small block head. 1969-72 hi-comp (61.2 cc) good ports. the 2.02/1.6 valve versions will have screw in studs and guide plates. originally came with non-harden exaust valve seats but probably been replaced with harden seats for use with unleaded gas. bad point: Close proximity of water jacket to spring pocket on 492s cast prior to 1972 requires a special seat cutter if using larger springs. this head was originally used on 350 blocks

you have a pretty bad-ass motor, it's just not the original. |smokin|

BTW what do you think your going to do with it? rebuild?

The engine also has a roller cam. I dont know what to do with the motor and it does run strong. What do you think the motor would bring? I have another 327 I may put into the vette. It may be more valuble to someone building a z28 so i may just cover it up in the corner of the garage |smile|.
