i'm confused. if you know they're 400 heads, what are you asking?
anyway, if they're SBC heads, there is a site that lists a bunch of this info. i don't remember it exactly but it's something like 'nastyZ28'. you could do a search and come up with it. from what you described though, i'm not sure they're even chevy heads.
:confused:

If they're GM, they'll have a 5 or 6 digit number with a 4 digit date code near them.......have a look again for more numbers.....you'll have to take the valve covers off to find these numbers........
