What is this?

L69 or LG4.

It's an 84 block, so there are supposedly different pistons.

He's wondering if that means it's an L69 or LG4.

Flat tops. Yet I have an engine code H on the block. Everything else said L69 and I had originally thought that it was an L69.

Then I popped the heads off today and see the relief valves and for some reason I didn't think there were supposed to be any.

I did a search on the board and lots of people said H engine code is LG4 and nobody disagreed.

That's why I thought I'd double check. Not that I could do anything about it..........

I was a little surprised about the amount of carbon in there, but the cylinder walls look very good. The #7 cylinder I was worried about because I had a spark plug that had been deformed once in that cylinder, but it looked perfect.

So I am slapping on some World Torquer 305 heads, some SLP headers, a 3" cat and a 3" Hooker cat back. I already have a Comp Cams XE 262, performer carb, jacobs pro-street ignition, roller tip rockers and some other junk.

This thing should really wake up with the new breathing capabilities huh?
