Hmmm. I will see if anyone else has that problem. I went back in after I posted and it opened up with the message for me (although the pic was upside down). Thanks for trying.

Looks to be a cast iron head that's been painted silver

It definitely is. It doesn't appear to be a Chevrolet factory head. Just trying to figure out if I can track down the chamber and port sizes by using that number stamped on the side.

Could be a World Products replacement cast iron head....

Check out this site. Compare the pics to yours.

Good luck.

This won't help in this particular case, but if anyone runs across this thread in the future trying to ID a Chevy production head, this site is helpful:
