Re: what heads do i have?

truck or car has nothing to do with it


most of the time the same heads were used regardless if car or truck

what casting number do you have

need that info to know anything at all about what you have

the most common 80-up 305 heads were the 4416 ones

58cc

1.84 valves

416 is all that matters. You have the same heads as everyone else on here with an '82-'88ish 305.

Specs are what Randy mentioned.
