1992 mx18 diablo engine questions please help
 
I got this boat for free like four years ago or so.the heads were cracked and I never went and picked them up. So I don't know what heads to put on the engine. I'm pretty sure its a 4.3 vortec 262 but I'm not sure.

A friend has some cheap heads off a 1991 chevy s10. Blazer. I'm pretty sure the heads will fit. Is thre anyway I can verify this or can anyone else? If anyone knows anything about this please let me know asap. He's gonna sell the heads to somone else tomoro.thanks and have a nice day

They will bolt right on.
You don't have a vortec motor if it's a 92.
Make sure they have three mounting holes on the front side of the heads. Also make sure they have 6 holes for the intake side. If they only have 4 they are vortec heads. But they weren't used til 1995 so you ought to be fine.

Can't see the intake side , but they look like they are the right ones for your 4.3. The mounting holes I refer to are on the front side of the heads. They are for accessory bolt up.
Here is what the intake side needs to look like , and if you look close at the other pic , you can see the three holes in the end of the head.
