Default Vortec heads casting numbers

Does anyone know what the L31 vortec heads are compared to the 906 or 060 casting?

L31 refers to the engine that the vortecs were used on. The castings 906 and 062 are the castings used on the production vehicles. The casting 060 is what you'd buy over the counter from a GM parts distributor.

Thanks for the information.
So the 062 or 906 are about the same head?

The 906 and the 062's are the castings you will normally find on ebay, and from junkyards. I run 906's on my vette, and my father runs 062's on his. Either will work fine.
