Witzl has posted the differences between 18R-G heads on numerous occasions. Do a search to save him posting it yet again.

I searched but he only tells the difference between the later heads. I need to know the difference between the early heads.

Here's some head numbers off Al's 18RGs:
> 88250:
> - 49657 single spring early rgu single dump ex ok head small studs on ex
> - 52978 same as above
> 88253:
> - 73086 double spring late rgu good head to start with large studs on ex should be duel dump man
> - 62744 single late rgu still good head may be small stud ex should be single dump
> - 81784 double spring late also
> - 87278 double spring late also
> 88270: these are ale efi heads all double springs alll good heads these are the ones you use
> - 35140 biggest ports biggest valves no smog ports best casting
> - 08037
> - 49383 very late head newest ive seen
> ?:
> - 81225 same as above double late rgu if the head is a 11111-88253 not a 11111-88270
> 88253 88270s would be the heads of choice since these need very little work from the factory these willl make lots of power with little porting they will make a lot more power with a lot of porting the castings are a lot thicker around the ports so there is a lot of room the 88250s can be made good but the ex studs should be changed up to 10mm ones for best sealing all of these engines should have 8.5s to 1 but the efi 88270 heads they should have 8.3 to 1 just be glad you dont have any of those 11111-88230 or 88210 heads they are good paper weights.
Hope this helps your info of what you got there sounds like my garage
I think i have 15-18 heads right now

AFAIK - not a whole lot.... both are the early 18R-G heads, small valve, small port.

I thought these were not the best heads but had the best cams because they weren't as worried about the emissions on them.

I know that the 230 head has a very handy little cast part on the intake side for mounting throttle linkages that is not present on later model heads. I don't know about the 210 head though.
