Thread: ID heads by year and model?

Tweet

I have a factory original 454 in my '94 Burb. Is there any way to determine which heads would have been factory installed. (trying to avoid popping the valve cover just to get a number) I would like to find the CC's of the combustion chamber to see if there are other varieties available to increase my compression.

I understand that milling the head and intake is one possibility but would rather do it with combustion chamber size if possible.

Best guess #10101136 91-94 113.0cc

Is there such an art as welding up combustion chambers to lower their displacement?

You can get a machine shop to deck your heads. (shave a lil metal off)

That will lower the size of the chamber by a few cc's.

Don't take to much material off as it can make a weak point in the head.

By the way. Hi everybody.

My 1st post but probably not my last.

piston to head height (quench) should be 0.035-0.045"

If you have 0.055-0.075"

that should be adjusted before machining the head(s)
