Post subject: Chevy Small Block Heads

Hi Guys,

I have a 1986 305 ci Chevy engine with cracked heads.

I also have a set of good heads off of a 1966 283 ci engine.

Does anyone know it these 283 heads will work on my 305?

Thanks,

jhatt.DeleteThis@allvantage.com

Yes and no. They will bolt on but may lack accessory mounting holes and
they will not have hardened valves and seats for use with unleaded
fuels. I would advise against it.

What is the casting numbers on the heads off the 305?? I have a good set of
heads that came off a good 305 engine if you want them. Where you located???

SnoMan,

I see the missing holes you are talking about. I was afraid the valves might be a littls soft for unleaded fuel but I wasn't sure.


Old Hippy,

My casting Numbers are 14022601 (on both heads)
I am in Apache Junction, Arizona about 40 miles east of phoenix.

no one,

Nope, no holes for my power steering either. I only need one on each head and the location where I need them is in a very "Meaty" part of the head. I probably could drill and tap them in alright, but I would still have the soft valves and lead additive to deal with that SnoMan pointed out.

I used to race SB Chevies many many years ago and I know them well.

Yes the valves will clear. Have the heads machined and hardend valve
seats installed. any compitent automotive machine shop can drill & tap
the accessiory bolt holes for you. 283 heads on a 305 will give you a
higher compression ratio. One fix for the Notrouis P.I.G. 305's put in
chevy trucks.
