Default Identify GM Heads???

Visiting a friend, I found a disassembled Chevy Small Block Head with the numbers 3790010 (I hope I remember that correctly).

Can someone please help me to identify what this engine was originally for?

Thanks,

Stephen

ISn't that your block casting # I'm pretty sure thats what my block is.

*edit* block is 397 not 379.... sorry
www.Mortec.com says nothing about that number for heads
