L-82 Head castings

[Bob_K]

I've been trying to figure out what heads are on a 79 L-82. What I really want is flow data. Are these the same heads as the #882 castings I see in catalogs? If not, does anyone know the casting number I could look up for flow data?

I would not waste my time or money trying to port 882 heads. These are typical hot running smog heads, 76cc chambers, thin, and prone to cracking. Better performance $$ spent on new heads.
