Re: 1969 Z-28 041 heads
[ QUOTE ]
041's didn't come on 69Z's. 186 casting did. 041 were small valves and 186's also had a 1.94 intake valve. 350/300hp cars were 1.94's. some 186 casting suppositly showed up on SS cars, but I never saw them.

I have seen quite a few 186 heads on 69 350's. In fact I almost bought a 69 full size a few years back just to get the block and heads (which were both 186's) a real "old lady's car that had not been tampered with. A friend of mine bought a full size chevy for the same reason and it turned out to have a 186 head on one side and an 041 on the other, with casting dates within a week of each other and just prior to the build date. Both still had the factory head gaskets.
Like you, I have never seen a Z/28 with 041 heads, but Colvin's book clearly states it could be. I have always been skeptical.
Anyone else?
