Those look kile KOGEL hi-comp heads, available in two diff comp ratios, cast iron finned with 25% increase in water capacity. Not many made. I've a pair on my 40.

Yes, these are rare. I seem to recall an issue with them cracking, so I'd get them checked out before throwing them on a motor. It would be cheap insurance.

Those are kind of cool - similar in concept the the KR heads.

Now I have to find a picture of the Grancore??? Heads.

tubman · 11-30-2020, 04:48 PM

Are those from an Oldsmobile?

Yoyodyne · 11-30-2020, 07:36 PM

I'm having a hard time seeing the shape of the chamber directly above the piston. It sort of looks domed, but not as domed as a stock chamber. Does anyone else see that, or does it look flat to you?

JSeery · 11-30-2020, 07:58 PM

Looks flat to me and I would assume mated to flat top pistons.

Ol' Ron · 12-01-2020, 01:10 PM

Grancor combustion chamber

Ol' Ron · 12-01-2020, 01:12 PM

Wish I knew how to make the picture bigger.

tubman · 12-01-2020, 01:25 PM

That's a "thumbnail". I "Clicked" on it and it came up to a decent size.

You done good.

Thanks, those are the heads that were onmy Bville engine. I wonder where they are now??

JWL · 12-02-2020, 06:00 AM

The Grancor are the better design for flow/power.

Ol' Ron · 12-02-2020, 09:26 AM

As you can see the heads have a sligth popup for the 3 3/4 stroke pistons. Also the piston clearance. I made a doming tool to equal the clearance. simple HC.

Bored&Stroked · 12-03-2020, 02:47 PM

I like those chambers . . . wished I owned a set of those heads! Anybody got a "spare set" that they're not going to use???

saltracer · 12-10-2020, 04:07 PM

aren't the Rocket heads kind of a mirror image? That is they have a deeper trough on the exhaust side.
