they look like aluminum GT-40X heads, i think those did come out in early 90's
so the story kinda fits.

Get them cleaned up, maybe some new springs, port out the runners a little
and you should get a big improvement

nice heads for a freebee find. those are about $1,000 new

Thanks for the quick reply I think that is a good possiblity that they are gt40's..
Will these heads with roller rockers and cam (still havent decided wich cam) outflow my stock cobra intake?

put some new valves and springs with a valvejob and you will have some cheap horsepower.

I believe the cobra intakes are good to 350rwhp.

these heads will add around 40-50hp.

Oh sooo lucky, what a sweet find. You should see if your dad has any other "fallen of the cart" parts. You'll defiinatly see some good gains with a cam and those heads, mightas well put a trickflow intake on too
Dont foget about the dyno tune tho, its a must with a sn95
