1969 Z-28 041 heads

[budnate]

not trying to be a smart a$$ here but lets back up a little,

there seems to be sources out there stating clearly they were on a 302 motor, and the e bay seller obviously has some 1968 dated 041 heads, granted he has taken some liberties in his description but he did scan the book into his add,

lets just for arguments sake ask the question.. if you guys personally have not seen them on a car, what do you suppose they built them for in 68/69 ???? CE stuff ??

Just looked at the eBay ad.......They changed the casting # 4 in the part number.Looks like they used a closed 4 not the open shown on my heads.....Like to put them side by side to note any other changes....FYI,mine have the 1.94 intake valves not 2.02...I always thought they were all 1.94's.

They may have been over the counter or warranty replacement items.

This guy is pretty confident about the 041 head. Ebay

Bud, not saying they were never used on production cars. Just saying I have never seen them on 302's. Seen plenty on 350 295 horse engines. In fact seems like almost every Z10 or Z11 L48 has the 041 heads. Even saw an original January 69 built full size car with 350 that had a 186 head on one side and an 041 on the other.

So I know they are interchangeable, as Colvin says, just haven't seen them in a 302, or for that matter in any application with 2.02 valves from the factory, but then I have virtually no Corvette experience. Maybe someone with NCRS experience can help out.
