I imagine if its like my friend's LO3 it has the "D" shaped ports. Most small blocks from 87 on are the D shape.

83Z,

Imagine the shape of a White House intern's mouth - with the tongue hanging out the bottom....


(And you thought that just because he was gone I was going to leave that one alone - HA!)

This is what the L03 heads' exhaust ports look like.


I can't find a good picture of the D-shaped exhaust ports...

Well, it's not the best picture. These are the D-Shaped ports on my L98 heads. The LO3 heads don't have exhaust ports shaped like this.
