It sounds stock to me.

The two heads are C6AE-Rs, and will be basically identical, though some insignificant variations might be found, such as the "Big R" version from Cleveland might have three reinforcement ribs in the water jacket atop the exhaust valve pockets to stiffen the exaust valve seat when the head is torqued down, and the C6AE-R head (probably from DIF) may not have the ribs. Functionally, they're the same.

Minor mixing of these castings are quite common. It's undesirable to mix C6AE-R heads with C6AE-J, -L, -U, or Y heads, as these have different runners, and the C6AE-U and -Y have different chambers, too.

Your "R" heads are desirable castings.

 Prob. just different castings of the '-R' head. No biggie. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/11/2003

 More like '5L22', sure. That'd be 22 Nov., 1965. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/11/2003
