    Hey guys, I need a set of evidently unusual BBC heads. They are rectangle port heads but they are closed chamber instead of open chambered like the 990's. The casting # is 3904391, listed as a 396 and 427 is all I came up with. The ones my buddy has are junk. If he goes to the 990's he will have to go to dome pistons to stay at the same compression he's at. Any suggestions? If anyone knows where to find some of these let me know.

    buy from the guys on the boards if you can. If not you can give paul pfaff race engines a call. THey had lots of used bbc heads at their garage sale last weekend.If no luck there,start hitting up the swap meets. Good luck to you.

    Razor and Flat Broke, let me know what you guys find because he will buy them. If no one on here has them I will give Pfaff a call and see what he has, thanks for the tip on that cs19. Rvrbrts, you threw those out but kept all that other crap in there? wink Keep on cleaning chick, you might run across a BDS 1071 blower burried underneath all the old stuffed animals and bicycles. Let me know wink .
