Default 70 TA Cylinder Head Question

I saw this nice looking 70 TA at a car show a week ago. Looking the engine over I noticed they weren't "12" heads. I don't know what they were.
I figured you guys would know:





What are these?

Thanks, John

Appear to be Edelbrock round ports that Edelbrock script has been very carefully removed, then the center exhaust port retextured. Def alum round ports. Someone did a nice job detailing, just a few dinks to count.

Ahh, aftermarket. I didn't think of that. Yes, he did a good job of making them look stock to the casual observer.

Thanks!

Yep, aftermarket aluminum heads that have been disguised a bit... but I think they're actually Kauffman's.

you are prob right Keith, my eyes just seized on the squared off shape of the paired center exhaust & the thick pronounced shape above the exhaust manifold mating surface.
