Head ID

Engine has been rebuilt or changed and wanting to id heads. 1K13 cast into head under valve cover and a CP emblem cast in other end. No adjust rockers, so has to be after "78". Can't find a ref. for these numbers.

The actual casting number is on the head gasket side near the intake ports, so you need the intake off to see it at the very least. Some of the SBF heads will also have a capital letter cast into the top corner near the valve cover on 1 of the heads, this may help ID them.

The 1K13 is a date code, which translates to 1981-October-13. So this would indicate a 1982 model year.

I don't know about the CP. Perhaps Cleveland Phoundry?
