What kind of Head is this?

What kind of head is this? Aftermarket, Aluminum L98, what?

Here are the specs I know:

Center Bolt Valve cover style, Stainless Steel Valves, 2" Intake &1.56" Exhaust, and 9.8:1 compression with LT1 Pistons.

This is a 91/92 Firehawk aluminum Firehawk head but I'm trying to figure out if it's just a modded L98 aluminum head or if it's and aftermarket brand of some kind. I "think" it's a aluminum L98 head but I wanted your guys input...

I can't and that is the only picture I have of the head removed from the car.

Can't anybody tell by the appearance of the casting?

i really doubt anyone would be able to, if they are on the car, pull off the valve cover and write downt he casting number, if you cant or dont want to then good luck.

Thanks for your input. I won't do it on my car not to mention I would have to remove the intake to do it, major PITA (the T-Ram makes it impossible to simply remove the valve covers).
