Question Head question

Has anyone heard of c9ve-a heads? I purchased an unassembled
429 from a wrecking yard swap meet. I am putting it my 71 f100 4x4 . I am now starting to get things together for the build and I cannot find any info on the heads. The block is easy but I do not believe these heads were originally on my block because they are a different color of paint. If anyone has info on these please let me know due to I want to start my buildup soon.I just want to know if I should off these for some Dove heads which everyone keeps telling me are the best or just build these and hope for the best. I really do not want to take to shop and pay good money for machine work if they are not going to workThanks for any input.

Head question

C9VE heads are pretty much the same as D0VE heads, just a different casting number. They have the same size valves and have the same size chambers.
