Need help with heads !!!!!!!
Need help with heads !!!!!!!
A friend has offered to give me a 350 in which I thought I would swap into my 89 vert. I went to mortec to decode the heads, all the info that they gave was they fit a 305,350 with 1.95-1.5 valves. I was expecting a little more info if anyone has any info or opinions on these heads I would apreciate it the casting # is 14102193. Oh ya if they are worth using will they work with my 89 tpi set up.

They are trash.
Sounds like a truck motor.
Mortec won't tell you that, in most cases. All they tell you, is the applications by engine size and year, with a very few exceptions. They don't bother to get any more specific with the bottom-feeder castings like those, because nobody cares. Everybody pretty much knows they're garbage.

I had no clue that they were junk, but I do now thanks for the input. I would like to find a 350 roller motor out of a f body can you tell me which years that motor was factory equipment .

Re: Need help with heads !!!!!!!
why bother... find any 350 sbc from 87 til now and transfer everything over from the 305
well i should change that the SBC from 87 on had roller setups in F bodys so any 350 out of a 87 and newer will work out...
some 87+ truck blocks had the provisions for roller lifters but ran flat tappet instead... go to mortec.com and look at their casting numbers they will tell you what to look for
