ZZ4 LB9

Will ZZ4 heads work on an LB9 with stock exhaust manifolds?
Got a line on some new ones cheap and need to know.

Thanks

"Work", yes, but not all that well.

The chambers are for 350 displacement, so they are a little large for a 305 (even though they are the same size as the stock 305 - aluminum heads needs higher compression to make the same power as iron).

I'd do a port match on the exhaust manifolds. The LB9 are as good as they get on 3rd gens, but headers would be a much better way to go.
