holiday bump

The combustion chamber looks like a G head to me, perhaps take a pic of the casting number.

[BadAssPerformance]

+1, thats a G head... 287 maybe?

[midnighttoker]

it was off an 88 shelby z?

[BadAssPerformance]

It should have a roller cam if original '88... I'm guesing its an earlier head swapped on. Got any pics of the front and drivers side markings?

[midnighttoker]

i can get some tomorrow

[Force Fed Mopar]

Probably a 287, has the upper AC bracket bolt bosses. I think the 445 doesn't have those? It's not a 655 either, casting #s are in the wrong spot for those.

[midnighttoker]

i thought it wouldnt run right with a 287 due to cal? it has a TI smec in it

[Force Fed Mopar]

It'll run okay on a swirl cal, just not great.

[midnighttoker]

ill get some pics tomorrow

[BadAssPerformance]

Thats BS... The MP heads were all G heads.

[BadAssPerformance]

Why confused? All of the 8V Mopar Performance heads... G castings.

[midnighttoker]

so this is a MP head or am i missing something LOL im tired

[BadAssPerformance]

There was no mentioning of MP anything until you posted

where did/what provoked that ?

This comment... and the misconception that a G head wont work

It'll run okay on a swirl cal, just not great.

[midnighttoker]

ok,i see

[Force Fed Mopar]

Now I'm confused lol Are you saying it (a G-headed engine) will run great on a swirl cal?

Back in the day before the home-brew cals the swirl and g heads were pretty much interchangeable. There was no such thing as a 'swirl cal' or a 'g-head' cal. Example.. A Super 60 cal will work well with a swirl head, right? The Super 60 package said to use the Super 60 head (previously known as the IMSA head) which is a G head, and somehow it still works well...

Sorry for my crude old school perspective, just saying that its not as big of a deal as people seem to make it sometimes.
