Marc,

Casting numbers (on the part) and part numbers (in the parts book) are often
different. In the case of your heads, casting number 1554132 is the number
assigned to the raw casting. The dash 3 number is probably a mold cavity
number and not important. Once the casting is machined and valves installed,
assembly part number 1554131 is assigned. Since casting and assembly part
numbers are often assigned at the same time, they are often consecutive or
very close. But not always. Sometimes a casting can be assembled or machined
in more than one way, resulting in multiple assemble part numbers for one
casting number. For more casting numbers, check out:

You have the correct parts.

Subject: [FWDLK] A hemi head question HELP

Hello all
I was told by the seller that the pair of head I purchased from him are for
a 270 dodge they have a casting # of 1554132-3 on both heads.
and when I get home I got a surprise when I check the 55 dodge parts book
and I see 1554131
so can any one tell me what part # 1554132-3  is for and if they will or
will not work on my 270 dodge.
thank for the help
