Guy has a set of 193 heads off an 89 police interseptor motor out of a Camaro. Are these good heads?

Nope.
Those are 350 TBI heads. Nothing special.

"Police Interceptor" and those 193 heads would be out of a Caprice, not a Camaro. A 350 Camaro would have 14101083 heads.

062 and 906 are FAR superior castings.

Mortec has a better list of casting numbers IMO.
