Re: [oletrucks] '57 Heads

[Roger.Gleason@uconn.edu]

Actually in the 60's they were much sought after but after that better
heads became available with larger ports, valves and better flow
characteristics. They had small combustion chambers but also small valves
and do not have the bolt bosses to attach any accessories to. They are now
only valuable to restorers if you can find anyone that wants them. I also
have a pair so if you find anyone that wants some let me know.

I just came across a matching pair of SBC Heads #3731539  K2656.  I thought
I
would get them because they had the Pyramid, making them "Power Pack" and
they
might work on my 1965 327.  It now looks like they are the 1957 FI
heads.....any idea what they are worth?  Will they be a good match on my
327?

Thanks,
