=="Fuelie" heads== The most recognized end casting identifier of the SBC heads is the "fuelie", "double hump", or "camel hump". It got the name fuelie from the fact that it was used on optional high performance fuel injected SBC engines, mainly installed in the Corvette. The name fuelie is somewhat of a misnomer, however; the fuelie heads were used on carbureted engines as well. The names "fuelie", "double hump", or "camel hump" comes from the shape of the casting identifier. These heads were used during the '60s and '70s on various performance engines. ===Casting number "462" fuelie heads=== '''462''' is the most-used SBC head casting number out there- at least six different SBC cylinder head casting numbers end in 462, according to 'the books': * 3767462 * 3782462 * 3814462 * 3890462 * 3891462 * 3990462 <br style="clear:both"/> ===Fuelie casting identifiers=== {| |[[File:462 double hump head.gif|thumb|350px|SBC cylinder head casting number 3990462, c/n 378461 similar]] |[[File:Fuelie end ids1.jpg|thumb|350px|Various double hump identifiers]] <br style="clear:both"/> |}
