The heads are correct. Pontiac heads were matched to camshaft specifications. In the WZ Firebird platform, the 067 cam used the 62 heads. 400 H/O automatics also used the combination.

Pete's book lists #48 heads for stick cars. To my knowledge, the #48 and #62 are exactly the same, but I would consider #48 on 400 stick cars the most common.
