71-72 heads , basically all B engine heads flow about the same so yes they are good , the only thing I like better is that early closed chamber heads for their quench properties [516& 915 castings ]

65-66 for the 516 & yes they have small valves , 1.60 exhaust , I always have stellite seats installed & go to 1.72 or 1.81 valves though
