Default 4X heads/Date Codes

I have a pair of 4X heads with date codes of what appears to be H152 and G272. What do they belong to and what are the date codes? Thank you!!!

July 27th 1972 Casting
August 15th 1972 Casting

They would prob be on a 1973 model car. Check the ends of the bosses on each head. You would have 1h,4h,3h or 7h as a secondary code. That will tell a lot about what exact engine and trans they came on..

1h is a 455 4bbl auto
4h is a 400 2bbl auto
3h is a 400 4 bbl auto
7h is a 400 4bbl 4 speed.

98-112cc's most all have screw in studs after march or so of '73. Only the 3h and 7h will have screw in studs prior to march.

There was a 7 stamped on the horizontal underside of the bossing on both heads, no H however? Are these worth anything to anyone? I assume they are from a 400 4-spd 1973? I got them with a car purchase last year, just never checked them out!

That's where the 7 is, but I don't see an H. There is surface rust however, but the 7 sticks out like a sore thumb!

Bub,

Sorry if you think I mislead you. At the time I was going from Rockys article.
http://www.highperformancepontiac.co...ads/index.html

But lately, I have just about decided that all the 7h heads I have dealt with have slightly smaller chambers. Most around 98cc's. Seems the 3hs average about 102-103cc's.It would make sense that the 4 speed cars would get the smaller chambers.

Its just my observation.No need to sell your heads. Rocky knows his stuff for sure.

Oh no Jay not at all, I just want to make sure I can use the heads that I currently have
or if I would need to change to something else to match my engine

Thanks for clearing it up,

Bub.
