Looking for BBC rectangle port/open chamber heads
« on: September 13, 2010, 12:48:47 AM »
I live in San Diego and am looking for a set of good cast iron BBC rectangle port/open chamber heads. I don't want to spend 2k on aluminum heads.


Thanks, Gordon

Are they ready to install?
What's the difference between the two?

 Yes their ready to install. 990's were just gone thru by r&d marine. do you have a Mark 4 block or a gen 5. Gen 5 blocks only have 6 bolts on the timing cover.Gen 5 heads will work on a mark 4 but mark 4 heads don't work on a gen 5  i have been told.

I have a set of bare 990's in SD if you're still looking.  Clean the seats up and you're ready to go.

I don't know a lot about BBC engines, so bare with me.  What are 990 heads?

My block is an older 4 bolt main truck block with the two piece rear seal.

Gordy,,, the "990" is the GM casting number for the performance open chamber rectangular port heads.  They were later superseded by a "188" casting number that was supposed to be an improved casting with the same or similar flow characteristics.

Ok, thanks for the education.
The gen 5 heads will work on my block also.
Do your prices include shipping?
