No. 882 is one of the most common open chainber heads, and is a thin casting.
While I have been running mine in a hi-perf 350, they are very thin and prone to cracking.
If you cot the cash...replace them. If not, make sure to get them resurfaced, and don't let the motor get too hot. I had mine to 260 the other day and so far so good.

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
Need to pick up the one ton Longhorn with a PONTIAC 350/350soon.
Thanks every one!

keep engine cool and hope.... these are very common heads unfortunately... stay away from 624 heads also, the two are good for cracking and leaking coolant into cylinder and ruining rod bearings

I had a fresh pair once. The only mistake I made was not taking out the valves and springs before I sent them to the scrap bin.
