Book is wrong.
By Dave Shoe - 03/31/2004 9:18:24 PM; IP 12.2.11.190
Books never properly list applications for FE heads.

Small port FE heads were not even available until 1966. The small ports were for emissions. The large port heads are standard in all FEs from 1958 thru 1965. About 1/3 of the FEs (randomly) got large port heads in 1966-67, and only CJs and 427s after that.

Whatcha got are good heads, but common for the era. Standard 428s did not get special heads, and most (about 75%) were small runner. Your early heads will help high RPM performance, though the small port heads are very efficient (well designed) up through 350-400 horses or so.

JMO,
Shoe.
