During my searches I've run across more interest in info that just makes for more questions.
Apparently all 77-80 403 motors only had 5 bolt holes on original heads...
Since mine are definitely 10 bolt, that means earlier model 350 or 455 heads are on the motor. Since 350 heads help increase compression that is likely what is installed.
Now, how do I check to verify what heads so I can find the correct covers...Last edited by Redline04; June 3, 2020, 09:33 PM.

I like your suggestion! Would also make it easier to get on and off for valve lash adjustments, etc.
Best place to find studs?

My stud finder goes off whenever I get near it - ME has to use it.
But seriously, most hardware stores have them or you can order them cheap on line - I use Albany County Fasteners and they ship quickly.
