RE: [Chevelle-list] 487 heads

[Brian Knight]

According to Moretec.com, they came on '71 LT1 350 330hp. I'm sure they 
probably came on others as well, though. I have a set of these myself, and 
they were on '71 LT1 just like moretec says. I now have them on a 400sb and 
they are a great stock casting, in my opinion. I'm sure someone on this list 
can tell you more.

I have a 1971 SBC 350 coded CGC, which according to my MSA-1 book is a
2-barrel engine rated at 245 HP (as best I can remember this morning).
The engine had 1971 487 heads that I've since removed for inspection.
They have the 1.94/1.5 valves and my understanding is that the 487 is
somewhat of a performance head, so it strikes me as kind of odd that
it'd be used for a 2-barrel application (unless the info in the book
is incorrect).
Does anyone have any information about this particular casting?  I have
a 1989 Circle Track article in which a long time CompCams employee rates
the 487 at #7 on his top 10 list, but that's it.  Thanks!
