B heads on RB block question

[Matt H]

Hey everyone, quick question on mixing B/RB parts. Can I simply take stock 1964 383 heads and put them on a stock 1964 413 block? I plan on reusing the factory 413 rocker assembly and pushrods. Which intake manifold will I have to use, B or RB? Thanks.

Yes, and you use the RB intake.

Yes you can. About any RB manifold will work too. They actually used the same heads on some B and RB engines....totally interchageable

In '64 theres a good chance those are '516 heads on either motor. The ones you're using....closed chamber?? See a casting number??
