There are two variations of the 882 heads... light and heavy castings. You sir have heavy casting 882s and while they are a crappy smog head they were the best of the two and usually didn't crack in the valve seat like the light castings versions.

Also did you clean those valves off? Because they look like they were either cooking coolant or you cleaned them up.

So Rusty had that going for him.
