Look again at the last 4 numbers to make sure you're not transposing numbers. Believe you may find it's ...4291, which should make these the '69-'72 109cc closed chamber, rectangle port, hi-perf iron heads suspected. Depending on date code, could be off any number of original applications including 402 L78 or 454 LS6, off of a '70 or later crate engine, or replacements.
