hi all,

ok more newbie questions - engine tag sez:

351C   72-5
B7 KK621 SG

back of the heads has a big "4" on each one.

i'm assuming the 4 on the heads is for the 4-venturi style heads.

can anyone tell me what the stuff on the engine tag indicates?  i'm interested
in determining the factory compression ratio, etc - i wanna make sure if i run a
cam w/lift of .540, i'm gonna have proper piston/valve clearance.  only thing i
could tell, is that this was prolly a calif car at 1st...

tia,

doug
