Scrape the paint away and try to read the stamped numbers and letters. The letters at the end of the sequence can be run through an engine code list to identify the cubic inch displacement and year of manufacture, and sometimes the horsepower rating. The triangles on the end of the cylinder head would indicate they're the "power pack" high-compression heads used on early 283's, but those heads will bolt on to any pre-1991 small block V-8. Jerry
