The valve size is identical. The spring height will be identical. The springs will be identical as will the other valvetrain parts.

The 64 head # 716 naturally is the last year of the early head Intake bolt pattern.

The 65 head # 92 naturally is the first year of the late head Intake bolt pattern.

All of the cast iron heads, EXCEPT for the 421 SD, RA-IV, and 455 HO/SD will flow about the same. RA-III and "Tri-Power heads" are same as stock as far as real flow goes.
A 421 SD, RA-IV, and 455 HO/SD will flow about 220-230 cfm out of the box compared to <200 cfm factory (normal Pontiac) head.

If you are restoring a car, still lots of these heads (716 - 092/093) out there cheap.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
