This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Cylinder head differance between 70-71 and 72-on???

Discussion in 'Small Block Tech' started by 72skylark, Jul 22, 2002.

    I got a extra set of heads to work on, then swap onto my car so I don't have much downtime. The heads have the casting # 1238145, which are 70-71 casting. My car is a 72.
    Anyone know the CC's of each head. Was the difference in compression ratios changed by the head, or was it the pistons?thanks

    No difference in those heads . They will all be the same, other than the 72's will have smog passages in them. Jim Burek

    heads are 50cc, shows it being part of the 155 hp motor

    my understanding is that the higher compression motors did not have the recessed area on the pistons

    there was a 195 hp 350 motor in that year so those heads would be part of the low compression setup based on the way the info reads -- there has been some question as to how accurate the info is -- so read into it what you will
