Re: TPI unit question please help
Wouldn't happen to know where to get a list of 87 and later casting number break downs on the cylinder heads?

Re: TPI unit question please help
The only casting numbers I could find where within the rocker valley of the head (nothing on the outside) Bank #1 (drivers side) is stamped as:
14102191
I126
Bank #2 (pass. side)
14102183
C23
Any help determining if a TPI compatable 1987+ heads?

I have center bolt valvecovers on both engines if that makes a difference.

Re: TPI unit question please help
Ok with some work punching the keys and the toll tickets on the information super-highway I answered my question I think but I have another problem. Or maybe I don't;
per http://www.kendrick-auto.com/chevrol..._number_re.htm
My one head is a 14102193 which is 305, 350, 87-up, 7 bolt ex.
My other head is a 14102191 305, 350, 87 up center bolt VC
these should work since they are 87 and up heads correct?

Moving your posts because they aren't related to the original thread you posted them in.
Those are the dreaded "swirl port" heads. Not known for their performance potential.
They are the '87-up intake bolt pattern, centerbolt valve cover type, though.
