The first 3 are all 76c. Scratch them.

186s are fairly common. They came on 69-70 full size cars, Monte Carlos, and various other things. I have a couple of sets of them ( not for sale).

041s came on performance cars such as Camaro and Vette in 69 & 70. They're not as common.

186 and 041 are both good heads, the best of their day except for the angle-plug 292s and such.

083s from F car L98s are also plentiful and cheap, and have roughly similar flow. Those pop up in the classifieds on this sitte alot.
