No , it just means you have the very latest & greates , highest
compression , crack resisting cylinder head GM made and it is bolted
to the best InLine engine Chevy ever made ....
My '57 235 has a 1956 casting cylinder head on it IIRC . it works but
if it ever needs service , I'll junk it and find a nice 848 or 050
head and use that , the 050 head is the 261 head , it is drilled for
the steam relief holes but is lower compression so I'd have some
combustion chamber work done on it then lill it untill the
compression ratio was a little bit higher..
Please to remember : I'm a farm/used car/fleet mechanic so my goal is
to make it run as well as possible , I don't really care about
matching numbers or years .
You cannot put any full pressure cylinder head on any dipper engine ,
not to worry .
