340 T/A (U code) head value? (Pics)

A friend soaked an original race hemi block. It wasn’t bad going in, but came out looking brand new!

I have been looking for TA rockers that are not bank account breakers but you know Mopar people....it's gold.
I know every head and flow bench is different but I am at 298cfm at .600 lift. That is better than any head I have ever flowed. I have no doubt these heads were built by a Pro Shop. The rocker pedestals have been machined. The Intake manifold bolt holes have been re located to accept a large port Mopar M1 W5 Manifold also. I have been unable to find the shop. I was "told" the heads came out of Florida on a SS Duster. Every port is numbered and both heads are number stamped, I would love to find that shop....CTA 25, CTA 26...

CTA=Chrysler TA

You need a serial or job number to pin it down. I stamped most of the heads ive done and even the specs on occasion for those who tend to lose paperwork.
Peak# int/exh port v, etc on the outside corner pads.
 
If you know those heads are good solid cores there's no way I would let the them go for anything less than 500 and realistically probably more than that, just a very rare piece these days

The CTA 25 and CTA 26 is on the end with 1 bolt hole and in the flat pad under the center exhaust ports. I can't find any other stampings, but I am pretty sure it was manually done. Each port is also number stamped. With all that work along with the Bronze guides, 2 inch installed valve spring height with the spacers in place, extended length valves, 2 pipe plugs screwed into the intake side of the head on the end bolts, those bolt holes re drilled, a steel insert (cut off bolt maybe) in the center holes with those also being re-located, and then machined flat so the large port W5 M1 intake would work. . There was a lot of timely work done to these heads for sure.
