The search function is messed up. I've been fixing and it still keeps messing up. I'm working on it.The casting numbers for your heads are under the ports. The 4J17 is the casting date of October 17, 1964. ------------------

thanks...these are the slotted pushrod ones with screw in studs...Steve..I assume you mean the casting number is under the intake ports which means removing the intake....

The actual casting number is on the bottom meaning pulling the head off. It would read C5AE in 1 spot, then "B" in another near the short bolt side of the head.
