How about a Casting number..........I'm not sure, but I think the choices are somewhat limited in closed chamber rec port. The 990s are open chamber, and I am unaware of any #s for what you are looking for.............Ray
Edit.......Just went over to Mortec, and there are a bunch of different rec port closed heads......Still need a casting # though............Ray

lilrick, do you need one or two heads? You said you broke one, does that mean cracked? or busted....Either way, someone here may have a match for your one good head, or even a set. I didn't see the 990s listed anywhere on the mortec site either??.....Ray

A good set of open-chambered large ovals are strong running heads (unless you want to scream arround 6-thou and up), especially ported. According to my head shop locally, those '781's are the shi+ (good shi+).

I've got a set of one piece stainless 2.19 and 1.88 valves. I went to a roller set up and needed +.100 valve stems. These valves only have 20 mnutes on them.
I also have a set of comp cams 911-16 springs. Flat tappet up to .600 also same 20 minutes. The block I have has lifter bore alignment issues and ate the cam, so I went to a roller set up.
I'll take $225 + shipping
