There was no TBI in 1987, so something is wrong there - either the year model, or that it was TBI.

Pull a valve cover and get the casting # off of the heads. That will tell whether or not it makes any sense to put any effort into the heads.

ill do that when i get it back. it getting rust holes in the floor taken care of. but idk this car is a mess it has a reman tag on the bottom of the block. i bought it for 2 grand as a 350 with 411s got it home put the new intake on it found out it was a 305 popped off the rear cover found out it had stock gears. and the vin tag on the rad support was taken off and the when i look up the vin it comes back as a iroc and its not. so this car is all kinds of messed up. lol but ill let u know in a week or two when i take the valve covers off.
