That sure looks like a C8TE to me from the photo.
But it realy does not matter since the 68 & 69 are the same cc and valve size.

On the other head you can see more clearly that it is a nine. But I read somewhere yesterday and it said that C9TE truck heads have the same chambers cc as a windsor and it said that you lose compression but im not sure if it means you lose compression if you use these over other 68 69 heads or all 302 heads in general. So are these better than my other 1980 heads or not? Also I have the red ford parts interchange book that you can get from autozone and a 68 302 has 210 horsepower and 9:1 compression and a 1980 302 has 8.4:1 compression. I know the chamber size is different but are the pistons in a 1980 302 dished more than 68 pistons? If I put the 69 heads on a 1980 302 about what kind of compression would I have?
