Buddy of mine asked me to ask those in the know about 915 heads. He has a pair that has angle peanut plugs and large ports. Anybody in the know have any information I can share with him?

I have a pair of OE 915 BB iron heads. straight plugs. 2.08/1.74 std valves (iirc). I could measure the port openings if requested but yours ain't those. EDIT my exhaust valves might be 1.60" MORE EDIT Ma never made an angled SB/BB head (there is a SB 915 head).

Huge ports, large intake and exhaust and closed chamber.

Mopar DID make angle plug big block heads. They were used on their dump truck engines. I've got a set off a 1976 D600 361 with angle plugs and they're closed chambered. Not sure of the casting numbers but I can dig them out and check.

I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that the factory didnt produce any BB heads with casting number 2780915 that came with angled plugs.
Impossible? No. Just not likely.
If they indeed have angled plugs, and are that casting number, more likely they have been modified than being something made that way at the factory.

BB 915 heads look like a 906 from the outside, they have the same ports as a 906, and the same combustion chambers as a 516. Good info.
