Nice score!

Where did you find that? Is it in Germany yet? What are your plans for a set of cylinder heads?

Morning Brian,
still in Chevyland, but ready to go. Found a new car enthusiast. At the moment looking for a shipping company.

Plan is to restore the engine as an exact copy of my existing original one, means no electronic, no plastic, no chrome, all in 1967 spirit.

Heads have to be the 492 one

**DeadheadNM** · 01-25-2020, 09:26 AM

Great find on the motor - too cool.

How you doing? I haven't seen you on the site in a while....

GerhardH · 06-18-2020, 12:33 PM

Back in Force (at home) Dale.
Hope you are well.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-19-2020, 03:55 AM

Good to see ya posting. I'm doing fine.

GerhardH · 06-29-2020, 01:56 PM

So a little bit work on the heads. They are already resurfaced, because of concavity. In the outer area 0.3 mm (0.011811") removed. Have collected some pictures especially for beginners to imagine.

Cylinder heads 3991492 ( Inlet valve diameter 2.02 inch /Outlet valve diameter 1.60 inch & screw- in rocker arms, straight plug,complete, GM 3987376)

Casting date L96
9 = 9.
L= Dezember
6 = 1964,1974
Chevrolet teased the aftermarket in the mid-to-late ‘70s, first with over-the-counter service replacements like the 3991492 head
