Are 65 - 69 square port heads physically the same? Could I bolt a pair of 69 L71 heads to my 65 L78. I'm playing "what if" my L78 heads is cracked etc and am concerned about L78 head availablity.

Re: big block square port heads
Yes, I did it many years ago. I've installed a set of 454/450 hp heads no problem on the L-78. While your at it get the exh/valves 1.88 installed on the stock 427 heads which have smaller exh/valves. 1.88 are what came on the sqr/port 454/450 hp engines. More hp.
What heads are you running now GM#3856208, 2.19 intake and 1.72 exh.? I don't see any problems using L-71 heads.grr#33570- Top
