Head Casting Number Guide
Scroll down to the lower half of the page.
#14014416, 14022601 (1980-85) perimeter valve cover bolts.
#14102187 (1987-91) center bolt valve covers.
All are 58cc combustion chamber, so keep in mind you'll be bumping up your compression ratio.

Whoops, yes they are. Stick with the first two. The 187 heads won't breathe well in the higher rpm range.

For others, the web site is mortec.com for engine & head identification.
