Anyone ever heard of a Small block "Z" head???
I came across a set of small block heads the other day that I am interested in for my dirt car but not sure what they are. I was told they had 2.02x1.60 valves in them but do not know if they are stock that way or what. Anyone know?? Thanks for the info.

"Z"'s are news to me - can you look at the actual casting ##s and post them - someone will be able to i.d. them for sure.

Z Heads
Its a set I am thinking about buying. Just said they were off of a 340 Duster. They are 915 Z heads like the 915 J heads. I am getting pics and will post some up.

Yes, I have heard of X O J and Z heads that were 2.02 valved. NEver seen one but I have seen 2.02 X O and J heads. I had a write up on all small block heads and they were covered. 2.02 valves can be had in almost any SB head, just a new hardened valve seat and a little blending. The X and J 2.02 heads flowed identical in almost all test I have read minus testing error.

915 in castting means its 71 2.02 1.60 head what gets real Confusing is the T/A head had same casting # and ya really gotta have a trained eye to tell the difffrences.

z heads
What is the casting number for a 1970 model just curious. I cant find any information anywhere on these Z heads. Kind of weird.

915 Was also the last 3 of the cast #'s for T/A heads as well but obviously different. |

How about this info (from "How to rebuild your small-block Mopar", page 49) 68-71 340, casting # 2531894, 2.02 intake, 1.60 ex., non-adjustable rockers. Next is casting # 3418915, listed as having 2.02/1.60 valves, but being supplied in 2 versions - the T/A with offset intakes and adjustable cast-iron rockers, (1970 only) and the other application is for 1972 340 and 71-72 360, both with 1.88/1.60 valves as noted above. Note that the casting # is listed as the same for both T/A and stock. Could the "X" designator refer to a T/A head? Was that T/A configuration the basis for the W-2 head?

W2-T/A
The wider pinch [more meat for porting] & offset int rocker are of the same thinking, after that they're different, mainly port wise. 894's in 71' most likely left overs. I have never seen an x on the T/A's I've seen, but I've only seen a hand full. |

Then explain the big J between the spark plug holes on my 302's
