    I think your reading the wrong numbers. Look between the two center sparkplug holes. You should see a letter number combination that looks like C8AE 6090 A or so. The first 3 letter and number combo indicate the year, the 6090 stands for head and the Last letter or in some cases two letters is the application.

    These two threads should help you. [url]http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3196&highlight=Head+http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...asting+numbers

    Once you get the right numbers, I am sure FFR428 will be along to help you figure out what you have. He's extremely helpful and knowledgeable on casting numbers.

    Oops, forgot one thing. The first grouping could read for example C8TE the TE means they are truck heads. the AE means they are car heads.
