Head question (casting numbers etc)

Really bad at this kind of thing with casting numbers, I have been trying to figure them out for years and can NEVER match my stuff up with the charts found online.

Thank you in advance.

They came on 77 to 80 something 360's and some say HP 318's. They are not the swirl port or closed chambered heads but there was alot of back and forth arguements about them. Most said put some larger valves in them, port them some and you will have a good head. Note the smog holes. I had them on some cast 308 heads. Drilled them and tapped them and installed a set screw to block them off.

They are off of a 360. I took them off and was going to rebuild this motor but the cost of doing the valvetrain the way I want is ridiculous. So I am trying to part it out to gather funds to do a motor swap, not really sure on motor yet.
