what are the numbers?

 

[DetMatt1]

I’d be willing to bet that they may look like 518s but are probably 516s.

I thought the same so l went and took a real hard look...l may have pop em off...that Being said...would they even work..??.. Look

 

[DetMatt1]

I know the intake ports are huge/tall so without the rest of the appropriate max wedge parts they’re useless but valuable to the right person.

[Hemivision]

what are the numbers?

2406518...l am at work right now l bet you are right..the 8 is a 6 not the first time that's happened..and the ports don't look huge to me...l may just pop a head off to get a perfect look at the numbers...

 

[DetMatt1]

They also don’t have the exhaust crossover port on the intake side. You shouldn’t need to completely remove them to determine what you have. I mean look at those intake ports.

 

[Hemivision]

I will check when l get home but l think they have the crossover port...that would end that...thanks...l will let you guys know..thanks for your help..
