    Mark,

    A little note before you pull those heads - you might like what you hear:





    Mark, when you pull the heads, look to see what size the valves are. If there is no more than the width of a dime between the intake and exhaust valves, then you have yourself a "Modified Hi Performance 455" optioned engine. Let us know what you find!!!
