i am a new member glad to be here.I had to sell my mopar 18 yrs ago to do the family thing and raise my kid.With that said im back im building another car.I bought a 440 it was all new thought i checked it out good but i only pulled one valve cover when i got it home i pulled the other valve cover to discover it had two different castings on the heads.one is a 346 and the other the dreaded 213 motor home.They have had alot of work on them,milled .060,good springs,fresh valve job ect.I ended up selling the short block because of the external balance problems you can have that i had forgot about.I kept the heads and want to use them on 69 440.What would you do will it matter that they are different.

 

Dave, with good springs and fresh valve jobs, you already have them so I would use them.

just my .02 worth.

just not sure everybody says the 213 heads are no good but if the specs are the same whats the difference.

 

If there the same cc's and the same port/runner size.... You are ok to run.....
As far as I know... There almost the same head? Unless the 213 has a bigger water passage or volume?

What bad did you hear????

Welcome to the site by the way...

 

The external balance is only a problem if you make it one. Put the right parts in and Your set !!!!!

 

thanks for the replies folks all the info i can get on the heads they are the same so i guess its game on these heads on a 69 block i should make a ton of power.i know some of you are gonna say pump gas problems ive done this in the past and it worked fine i aint scared no risk no reward.

 

Just check the head and make sure it is square on the cc's all the way across the head....
Let know how it runs????
