Thats pretty much all i did to them, cleaned up the bowls gasket matched and cleaned up the intake, reamed the guides a little for the valves and seated em. Pretty much a polished tird, the casting is 10114156 just a set of heads i had sittin around at the time. Like i said a polished tird. I can post some pics of the head work tomorrow if you want to see it.

Couldn't find much about the heads except that they probably won't work for any kind of performance application. Here's a comment stolen from Camaros.net....
"I am assuming by L-29 you are using GM head number 10114156 '91-'01 Gen. V & VI 454, "round port" (195cc intake ports ); Open style 115cc chamber; uses adjustable 2.06" intake valve and 1.72" exhaust valve (as opposed to the newer '96 up "Vortec 7400" 10141279 heads with non-adjustable rocker stud nuts). This 156 head is a truck head designed to build torque, not horse power. These heads will fall on their face at 4000."

Hmmm, doesn't sound pretty. 195cc intake ports would be expected to do a good job on a 383 cubic inch small block.
