The B155 on the head is just a Julian Date Code, no need to pay attention to that really. For the 350 engine, MadOgre is talking about a set of 1.94/1.50 size valves. That is the common big valve head size. 2.02's are hipo heads in the late 60's to mid 70's. Rare and hard to find and the gain is not worth having to have all the machine work, new valve seats and cost of the valves to upgrade to 2.02's, not to mentions making the heads more crack prone between valve seats. The 1.94's are pretty common but in a 76cc head. So now you see what 53 cc heads will do for a 350. That will raise the compression ratio to high for those tired rings if you're not going to rebuild the motor.

Alright so I finally picked up the other engine last night. My cousin was saying that it most likely is just the head gasket. But I am pulling the heads off anyways and will see. Today I might get to pull the heads off to see what I am really into. Just don't have a engine stand at the moment. And I am just going to be rebuilding this engine not a full restore on the truck yet maybe this summer.

Anyways here is a few pics,
