Head Design Pattern

[ar0ck]

I couldnt locate the casting numbers on the heads of the motor Im buying.

What I do know is the motor is 100% original pulled in the 80's Casting # : 330817 - 2-Bolt 400 72-80

My hand drawing of the head patern if your looking at it:

The first intake number looks like its from an L82.

Years Â* Â*Casting CID bbls Material Â*Carb Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Application
1974-76 340261 350 4 Â* Â* Â* Â*iron Â* Â* Q-jet Â* Â* Â*A B F X/160,185,195,245,250HP

It looks like its the intake from a 4 bbl 350 from 74-76, originally with a q-jet carb.

the 2nd number...google gives me nothing.

Did you pull the valve cover? Â*The casting numbers are located in there, next to the rockers and what not. There is prolly a proper name for that area, but I dunno what it is.

Also....wtf were you trying to show us with the picture you drew?

Theirs a way of Identifying the type of head, by the design patern on the front & back sides. I used to have a large picture of all the different types that would help you identify which ones they are, but I lost it.

For example, on my old 350 motor, the type of heads were known as "Captains Bars" for the 2 indentation marks on the front of the head casting, and after researching a bit I found out they were crap.
