I'll be selling that.

Cleaned the engine a little and did some more inspecting.

Heads themselves having a casting number for '72 340s. ie. not X heads, which I should have guessed from outside O and Z. :(
Not the worst thing in the world, but its one reason I bought the engine. I wanted the X heads since we're not supposed to do any port work.

Brought the flexible single LED flashlight :) hey - I'll take small victories.
Inside the spark plug holes I could see a sharp line on the piston tops with valve reliefs and a small dimple.
So poking around the internet, they are probably TRW L2316 pistons or something like them. :)
If so, they should work well for what I'm going to do.
