Default Parts car?

Found a 70 parts car that has a decent engine looking at it I was wondering about the heads as the owner told me that they were dart heads?Are they worth his asking price of 150? how can you tell what they are as I could not find ant #'s on them?Nothing on the front or rear? Could the #'s be on the sides? Or do the valve covers have to be removed? Thanks all :confused:

Yup, should have DART cast into the oil valley between the rocker studs somewhere. And yes, if they're not broken or worn out, Darts are good heads and $150.00 is a bargain of incredible proportions. It also seems, if I remember correctly, that the ends of the heads have the whole surface machined flat, not just the areas around the bolt holes.
