Does anyone know what a Chevrolet cylinder head with casting number 3917291 is? Is it from a 350hp 327? I have a set in excellent condition and if they are "fuelie" heads, I might use them on my 300hp 350.

I have a book at the house that I will check when I get home tonight.  There used to be a decoder on the internet but the link I have doesn't work anymore.

Any body have info on a set of heads nos. 3947040?  I think they came off a killer '65 Malibu SS I had back then.

I have a "BUILDING MUSCLE" book. It states "Casting no.3917291(1967-1968) almost identical to the 462 casting, these heads breath well due to their larger port volumes. you'll find them on 302,327,350 engines.
