If you have AFR heads, you would see a Big AFR logo stamped into the front of them.

yup...AFR is a good brand for heads...but most people would never need an aftermarket head as the stock heads can be ported enough to meet most people's goals. now if we're talking a big cube stroker motor, then by all means the porting an aftermarket head is the way to go.

if i were you and i found that i did have AFR heads on my car...i'd find out as much as i could about exactly what they are and then i'd pull them and sell them and put stock ones back on. then you have some money to mess around with

If you pull the alternator you should be able to take a pic pretty easily/see the front of the motor.

Those heads are probably stamped on both ends. See what you can see on the back side with a mirror on the firewall.
