WHICH HEADS WILL WORK WITH THIS MOTOR??

First off I'll say hello to every body. Hello.

Here's my question..Where are the casting numbers on a motor?

Next up. My cousin has an 85 SS Monte Carlo that has a GMPP crate 350 engine Longblock in it.  The cousin indicates the basemodel that was purchased came from Jeg's automotive. But he can't be 100% for sure which one it was (Long Story) I looked at what he sent me.. a link..

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_85884_-1

Now is the time I need to tell you that I don't know squat about these GM motors so I need some help.

How can we determine which heads are required to sit on top of the motor if my knuckle head cousin can't figure it himself and I can't look at the thing other than the link he sent me.  Do the block castings have identifying numbers or marks available on them so that I can determine which performance head to order?  I need to know which heads/camshaft assby will work on this motor.


Help..

Thanks,
Roach

Any Gen 1 small block head will bolt to that engine. The only heads that won't work are the LT1/LT4 heads.

Are you guys planning on changing the cam when you change the heads?

If yes, I'd call Comp Cams/RHS, and ask them for a good head/cam combo for your cousin's Monte Carlo.
