While brushing out the cobwebs, I was thinking they were a 461 X casting with 2.02s, and 1.60s, but I do stand corrected as it has been a while.........

I take it you aren't refering to the 327's used in Camaro's here. I've done and do quite of bit of work on older Corvette's, some with the L-79 engines. Most of them have been equiped with the -291's with 2.02/1.60 heads. Some earlier cars have had -462's with big valves but, I've never worked on a car with -461's (as original) yet - I've heard they could have them, just never layed eyes on one - yet.
