Heads
Seller says these are ECZ-G heads off a T-Bird. That's the only information I am able to get.
Asking price is $135.
They are about 3 hours from me, so I would have to drive up to get them.
Is it worth the trip?

$135 is a great price.
You might see if the seller is willing to split the cost to have them cleaned and checked for cracks before you go. If he won't split it, just pay the full price because it will need to be done anyway. Or maybe you can work out a deal where if they are bad, he refunds the price of the heads.

I passed on the heads. To far away.
I sold a set of wheels for $100. Then I ran across a complete 56 272 for $100. I don't need or want the 272 except it has a set of ram horns on it. So now I own a 272.
On my 64, where is the casting number on my heads. I cant seem to locate it, I think its the original engine, but Im not sure.

'64 heads will have the id numbers kinda below the intake flange. On older heads, they are between exhaust ports, much easier to see.
More info in this link Y
At that same website, you can find block id and other info. Check the 272's numbers. It's entirely possible that it has good stuff now.
I know someone who may be interested in the 272 block and maybe a few other parts. He's in Texas, but I could get it from you and deliver to him at the Y block shootout in Ohio. Hey, maybe you'd like to go to the shootout now.

What I thought was a head casting is the block casting C2AE.
There is a number under the intake flange, its very difficult to make out, but it looks to be B0 and I cant make out the rest.

The numbers are in the same spot on each head so one will be toward the front of the engine. The other will be toward the back.
Make sure it is real clean. Any crud can make the letters and numbers hard to read.
B080-D is probably 6090-D. 6090 is the standard number for a head and doesn't really mean anything by itself. The remaining part of the id will be on the opposite side. That's what you need.
EA2-C does not sound like it is in any normal location for a head id. The spots shown in the link from my previous post is where they will be found. If I just misunderstand your description of the location, then the 2 is probably a Z and the most likely is ECZ-C, which is a decent head but not what you want.
Make sure you are looking in the right places, that it is clean as possible, and see if it makes sense.

But the head's casting date should be visible by simply removing the valve covers. It's on the top of the head. This one (below, from a C1TE) is "2K4", which translates into 1962, October 4 (the letter "I" is not used for the months due to its similarity to a "1").
So this is a C1TE 6090-D cast on October 4, 1962. If the truck it's in was manufactured before October 1962, this would NOT be an original head!
