Hi Pat, thanks for attempting to help, and sorry for the inadequate info.

The heads are standard and the info of the cast number produced the following.

Oval Port Open type 118cc chamber 256/114cc ports.

The crank is standard 454 for a 1983 IV

No cam or lifter have been fitted yet as ive stripped the whole bloc down just to the casing and looking to re build with some serious HP and torque.

Thanks for offering some help, im learning a lot.
