Help! Will 333882 heads work on my 84?

charlieman2004 · 10-22-04, 05:17 AM

The heads are from a 74-80 350, 1.94/1.50 76cc chambers. They have been rebuilt, decked and checked for leaks, new springs, and guides. I have a chance to get them for a reasonable price but afraid they may not work on my engine. I did a little research between my present(warped heads) 462624 and the ones I can buy (333882) I found reference to the 333882 having or not having steam holes(?) and that 84 Vetts have an extra manifold bolt and small plugs. If these heads will work with litttle or no modification it will free up needed $ rebuillding my lower end. Pleas help!
Thank you!

It is quite common to use 882s on 84s. The plugs should be the same. I am not sure about the steam holes. Do the ones you are looking at have steam holes?

Thanks elkabong,
I'm not sure about the stream holes but I'm told they came on the heads for the 400 engine. Well I took a chance and won the bid on E-bay so I'll have them in a few daysand can go from there.
Thanks

The heads for 400 did have steam holes. Don't know about any others .

Thanks SCAV, how can you tell if there are steem holes and if there are they blocked by the head gasket on my 84?

The 882s should fit on your 82 just fine.
