Cadillac 331 exhaust manifolds

Did cadillac use 2 different exhaust port sizes?  I have a 331 engine and 2 sets of heads and both have sets of heads have a different size of exhaust ports and everything else lines up just fine.

Dave,
Sounds like the other set of heads is off a 365..they had larger ports.

The '49 thru '51 heads used smaller exhaust ports, as they used a 2 barrel carb. When the 4  barrel came out with the '52's, the exhaust ports were larger as well.

Will the two barrel manifold work on the 4 barrow head. I have a set of heads with smaller ports but they will need a lot of work.
