Get a close up picture of the front of that driver side head.

Or go to this website and see if it looks like one on here.

The only way to know for 100% sure is to pull a valve cover and get the part/casting number

If I had to guess I'd say 882 heads.

Hard to tell from that pic. Possibly 882's or 487's?

Try this...

I was told that they are 71 or 72 Chevy 2.02 Cast Heads from a C20 pickup truck with a 350 from the previous owner.

Quite possibly true, 882's did come on 350/400's those years.

Re: What type of SBC heads are these?

If so they would be large chamber lower compression heads. Really need to pull a valve cover and post the numbers and a picture under there to really pin down what they are.
