The HD suffix pertains to a 300hp passenger car engine. Still good if you don't have your original.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I seem to recall JohnZ saying that Tonawanda heads did not machine the double hump in the casting where Flint did, and that was an easy way to disqualify non-machined double hump heads from every being used on a C2.
From here that double hump casting appears unmachined to me.

If you look at the head casting dates posted above you will see that they did not start their life on this block.
