Default *Changed* OPINION ON TF HI-PORT HEADS?

A friend of mine baught a 306 w/ these heads on it. The guy who he baught the engine off of said that they were TrickFlow "Street Heat" heads ??? I have never heard of them before so I just want to ask you guys... plus nowhere on them do they say TrickFlow which I thought all TrickFlow heads were labeled. These are the only numbers that were on the heads... any help?

S/NSB-188-2-1778
A 3639

Any clue guys? THANKS ALOT.

Also, he said that they were ported before. Is there anyway to tell this? The insides of the ports look kind of scratched up... in a circle pattern going through the ports, kind of like someone ported them but didnt look like a god job at all. If pictures will help I will post them up. LMK. Thanks!

Dan

They are aluminum... and they have no writing on them. He said that these heads are discontinued so Im not sure how old they are. Maybe the older TF heads dont have TF engraved ???

Well, I found out that TF didnt start engraving their heads until a few years ago so I know for a fact now that these heads are pretty old. Any other help? Has anyone heard of street heat heads before?
