My 72 chevelle has a engine with the number 14016379 stamped on it and heads with the number 14014416 stamped on them. Can anybody tell me what engine and heads I have and if the combo is any good?

14016379 stamped on it and heads with the number 14014416

You mean they are cast into them, don't use. Stamped implies it was added later by hand.

14016379 - 350 1977-79 2 bolt mains
14014416 - 305HO 1980-85, 58cc, 1/84"/1.5" valves, 7 exhaust holes

So you have a 1977-79 350 block with 1980-85 205 HO heads (likely from a Camaro or other performance car)

HO - High Output

Is this a good combination, or should I try to find some 350 heads for it? How many cc does a stock 350 head flow?
