I'm not sure its worth it but is it possible?

 

Yes they can, by angle milling them. But why?
Performance is so lame with these heads compared
to any other available head.
Find a 64 cc head (camel back, vortec, Corvette l98, Dart S/R etc)
and work with that. You won't be sorry.

 

Well 882s flow better than L98's and theres some pretty nice L98s.

 

882's are actually a very overlookd performance head. They respond well to porting, come with either 2.02 or 1.94 valves (so can easily be cut for 2.02s if you have the 1.94's). I can usually get more flow out of them than the l98 heads (check my thread on the tpi board https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=101489) And you already have them, so it'll be cheaper. I dunno if I'd bother milling them though. Get the block deccked to zero deck height, use a flattop piston with no valve and your up to 9.2-9.4 CR. Add a thin head gasket (I think there's one as small as .015 compressed thickness) and it will bump it even more. With that setup your looking at 10:1 with a 350. If your going with a 383 you'll want the large chambers to keep the compression in the reasonable level.

I've ported these well enough to get 265 on the intake and 200 on the exhaust.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm just doing top end mods for now. I have another engine for a future rebuild.
