Default Surprise after intake removal



So I was doing my intake fitiment yesterday and found a surprise. Any way to know what they are? Obviously some sort of cnc program has been cut. Anyways, I already bought cast 220 heads so those are going on which means these will be for sale soon. 243 casting btw.

Nice surprise for real.

What are you going to ask for them.

I guess I'm not really sure. I'll have to try and do some research on them.

You can see that the sides are pretty much untouched and the floor was just hit enough to make the shape consistent which is good. Where all the power is made is off the ceiling and removing the swirl ramp. You would have to compare the ceiling to a factory head to see what was done.

They could be NASCAR heads--is there a stamp like this on the floor of any of the intake ports?
