That's premium fuel range, or at least mid-grade. They should bolt on without a problem, but don't use the 305 head gaskets. The gaskets might overlap the cylinders with the 3 7/8" 283 bore. Here's a handy cross reference chart that gives casting numbers and combustion chamber volumes of a bunch of small block heads. http://www.enginelabs.com/news/quick-ref-small-block-chevy-cylinder-head-casting-numbers/Jerry `
