Default what heads do I have?

I was told the PO had replaced the heads among other things. Wondering if these are decent heads or not
This is for a SB 350

Yeah, they're the "stock replacement" heads hence the S/R designation. Smaller valves and no push rod guide plates.

Slightly better than stock 462624's only in that the S/R Torquers had 67cc chambers IIRC. WAY better iron & Alum heads these days
