That is a Crane Fireball 289HP head,289HP top side 68 302 combustion chamber. Big valves nicely ported K-code round exhaust ports that are raised higher than stock. Came as a top end power package with camshaft and headers to fit the ports. I have a set #319x and #320x I also have the matching camshaft. Good flowing heads love rpm's

I have one pair on shipping that i picked up online. The seller said they were off the -68 mustang. I see markings 302 and V2 in the picture and possible cast in recessed spring pockets?

I can of course take more pictures when they arrive, but im already curious to ask what these heads are? Thanks,

Look like common C8OE - x 2v 302 heads, I've several sets knocking hereabouts

Not even the 'best' of the 1968 302 heads, the 4v version has a smaller chamber

I doubt they've got cast in spring pockets, but obviously I could be all wrong about this .....

Looks like a regular 68 302 head,regular rail type rocker arms no screw in studs no cast in valve spring shrouding the spring... regular set of rail rocker 289-302 head nothing special.
