Update:
Ok, I was wrong on the casting number. It's not SKS, it's SK37080 just like in Tom's picure above. I called the fellow back that I bought the engine from and he said he talked to his engine builder who told him they got the heads from Dove. Funny, when I asked Dove about them, they said they have never cast heads with the exhaust port height mine have. I guess at this point it doesn't really matter who cast them, Ford or Dove but I still have to find headers or modify the ones I have. I think I'm going to try tweaking the ones I have and if I ruin them I'll try something else. I am still curious though as to whether these are Ford or not. If anyone else has a set of Dove heads would you check to see if they have a similar casting number? I tried to get a pic of mine showing the casting number but with the engine installed I can't get the camera to focus on it.
