Default ZZ502 heads.

I have a ZZ502 in my 72. Just bought Sanderson block hugger headers. I am not sure if they will fit the 502 if they have raised port heads. Are the 502 raised port heads.

Your heads do not have raised exhaust ports.

But the headers often need a little grinding on the lower edge with the bolts they use on the heads. Ck before getting in too far....

I had to grid the flanges for head bolt clearance on my ZZ454. If you would like a picture I can post one later this week.
