Okay, need some Chevy 327 head experts here
 
So what would be a good site that shows all the heads available in the 1960s?

I've seen a few and it's a mess.

This is more about trivia as someone on another board is claiming the 327 installed in the Opel Diplomat (327/300) had Fuelie heads. Specifically, "double-hump."

I'm guessing there's a cliche going on, but can't find the evidence to my satisfaction.

It also makes me curious if the 327/300 is the same one as the American cars or it's just rated the same but with different parts. I've emailed a German friend to see if he can help.

I guess some here may be surprised there was an Opel with a SBC!

Try this, Opel even used turbo 400 transmissions.

Keep in mind that some "double hump" heads were 1.94 valve heads.

I bet there were more with 1.94 than 2.02. Even the L79 heads were 1.94, right? Did an L79 ever has 291 head?

Some guy had this book, which confirmed my suspicions.

Thanks for that chart too - pretty interesting!
