OK got a little more info.

Head casting # 14081045
Block # 14015445

What can you tell me based on that.

I took a pic of one of the rockers and springs. The springs have like spacers under them.

I pulled the valve cover gasket off and under it written in sharpie are numbers directly below each spring. Numbers like 1.850, 1.870, ect. Each spring has a # written under it.

My pic doesn't want to upload right now.

Also let me ask some of you that may have done this swap something. What will I have to do as far as motor mounts? Will this thing literally drop right in? I know I need a BB radiator and will have to get new bb radiator mounting hardware but what about physically putting the engine in. What about headers? Which ones will fit?

Thanks in advance for any info on the heads or anything.
