Running G Heads on 1968 400
I recently acquired a 68 442. Block is original, but someone swapped the C heads for G heads during a rebuild. Anyone else in this forum have experience with this combo? If so, I'd very much like to hear your thoughts/comments. Is it worth getting C heads if the car is to be primarily a cruiser? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Combustion chambers are larger on G heads (80cc) so I've clearly got lower compression than stock, but presume engine was rebuilt with G heads to run better on lower octane fuel. Car seems to run well, but won't win many drag races. 😉

Combustion chambers on every BBO head casting except the "D" heads run about 80cc. There will be zero difference in CR (except for the half point drop due to replacing the OEM steel shim head gaskets with thicker aftermarket composite gaskets).
