Default 70 LT1 heads casting numbers.

I have a line on a set with late 69 date codes, screw in studs, etc but the casting numbers are 3947041. I have seen "186" and 441 casting numbers listed for these cars. Anyone ever seen this casting number on any legit 70 LT1 motors?

Yeah thanks, I have seen all of those casting numbers and info. Im just wondering why a set of heads that were supposedly built for a 350 300hp motor would have 2.02 valves & screw in studs & guide plates? Shouldnt should it? 350 300's used 1.94 valve heads.

Reworked by a previous owner. The stock heads on my 327/300 do not have guide plates, but I added the screw in studs.
