Hi guys, could you please run these head numbers for me? They are off my 454 BBC.

346236
PASS
GM2T
J81 74

These were very hard to find (due to fire, story in Bench Racing) so I hope they turn out to be something good. I am assuming that the J81 74 stands for November 8, shift 1, 1974? I have no idea though. Thanks for any help,
Chris

i wouldnt spend a lot of money on them. they will be ok for lowend torque but fall flat in performance rpm range. they are 215 hp 2 bolt main block heads. go to www.nastyz28.com/bbcmenu.htm (http://www.nastyz28.com/bbcmenu.htm) lots of big block numbers there for you graemlins/beers.gif

Thing is they are already on the car. They pull great in the low end, and keep pulling all the way to 6000 (as far as I am willing to take it). The guy who built the motor (before I bought it) said it was built to either the 427/435 (with 454cid of course) or the LS7 specs. Is it possible to get that much power out of them?

Also, the link doesn't work

sorry about link . click on nastyz28 link . then click on numbers decoding. lots and lots of small block numbers there and some great bb numbers there also. now back to your heads. i never said that your motor is not strong. i have no clue what has been done to your heads already. for torque you have some great heads. graemlins/waving.gif

I wasn't accusing you of calling my motor slow, jsut was wondering if its possible for it to be fast with those heads. I now believe that it has been worked and are definately ported. Thanks for all your help guys.
