There are also "semi-closed" chamber heads like the c/n 215 heads. They are shaped more like an open chamber head, but with less volume. These heads are a decent choice for a production head especially on a smaller displacement engine (up to 454 cid). Casting number 820 heads are similar to the 215 semi-closed head, but with less quench pad area. | There are also "semi-closed" chamber heads like the c/n 215 heads.
