Possum, look between the middle two spark plugs on the heads for the casting number. The numbers you posted are date codes and are not much help in identifying your heads.

What year do you think is the best non-hipo heads for a 390FE? As in the smallest chambers, largest valves, and possibly best port dimension. My heads are C8AE-H I think. The CC size is 68 to 72cc, with 2.02I and 1.65E size valves. This is just a standard cylinder head, but I figure have respectable numbers.
