Ok just went and checked, one of the heads is a 3964290, which is a
"3964290....69-70...oval..CLOSED..396, 402, 427, 454, 101cc chamber
Large or small hex spark
plugs used"
Is this worth picking up?
It has a stall convertor also so it had an automatic, also has a coil bracket so it had points.

Yes,that is a good closed chamber head.
Has he given you a price yet??

My '69 L-88 427 (factory 1969 crate/replacement motor) block was a 3512 block!! They also used that number on the 454's all Hi-perf castings! Is it apart? Should say HI-PERF cast into either the side of the block or in the timing face of the block. I'll take it !!
