76cc, 1.94"/1.5". They are part of the package that was responsible for a 400 CID motor producing 180 HP. If you have some, please have them melted down as soon as possible, to erase this disgrace from the planet. I can't even tell you any more how many sets of them I've thrown in the trash, literally; to the point the trash pickup guys were complaining.

yeah those 882 heads are junk. listen to RB83L69, cause he is right, those heads are trash. definetly do not put them on your car unless your goal is to go slower.
Its not for my motor...a buddy of mine is rebuilding the top end of his truck and he has those heads and whatever is on the truck now. well actually they are off...Ill get the casting number off those so i can compare to see which heads he has are better.
Ouch only 180hp out of a 400...what was the point??

There are many people that have these low perf smog
heads sitting around. There is a reason this stuff is laying around.
There're junk.
The 70's was an embarrassing era for the automotive industry.
RB is right, this stuff needs to be melted down. Sooner the better. Do your bit for America and the car.
Get your buddy to donate them to the nearest metal recycler.
