My advice is to stay away from from the 882 heads. They were stock heads in the 70's and early 80's I believe. They do flow good but the problem with them is that if you run your engine hot they are prone to cracking in the center 2-4 or 3-5 piston exhaust seat. I just went through that with my truck. I bought a set from a machine shop (prolly paid too much) and put them on. My radiator sprang a leak on the way to work and it ran hot. Sure enough, the 882 head cracked in the #4 exhaust valve seat. I had just gotten my money right to redo the interior and I had to turn around and put around $500.00 back in the motor. So still crappy intyerior. I had my factory 624 heads redone at another machine shop and everything cost cost $280.00 out the door. They are no hot rod heads but I don't care anymore. If I keep having to put money back in the engine, I'll never finish everything else. Plus, I must be getting old, took all my go fast junk off when I had to replace the heads.
