I have a 1975 stepside I bought with a 1968 327 in it. It has 083 heads with bent intake valves. I’ve done quite a bit of research and found these may have been used to increase compression, which makes me think that’s why the intake valves were kissing the top of the pistons. I’ve also read that the cam timing could’ve been off. wondering if these are compatible.
It has water getting into the number 2 cylinder And I’ve checked for cracks but could find none in the cylinder or head, no obvious leak past the head gasket. she started up and ran fine until it warmed up and steam would come out of the exhaust.
Quite a bit of work was done to this set up as it’s .60 over and the brackets were installed to accommodate a uni-belt, etc
what’s the question? Are the 083 heads and a 1968 327 block compatible.
