    Default Head casting dates?

    Are there head casting dates on heads such as the 643? I bought a set with an intake from a 50,000 mile 96 Z28 and am not sure what the 4 digit code on each piece means. One head is cast 6043. The other is 6047 and the intake is 6045. I have never owned anything but cast iron 320 heads so this is different to me. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Codes are inside heads toward front or rear. Will say 643 5xx or 347 or whatever after some zeros

    Ok this what I found. The 8 digit casting number of 10207643 and the same numbers I listed in the original post. Each head has 6061 and 6061A stamped in the ends of each head on the outside (my guess is that is the material grade). I also found a 3 digit stamped number on the outside end of each head. One has 604 and the other has 715. My heads have no other numbers cast into them other than a number 4 cast into the underside in the coolant passage on one head that is legible. The casting date is not such a big deal, I just wanted to know when they were cast, mid 95-July or later in 95 or in the 1st 6 months of 96. Not a deal breaker either way. I bought these heads and intake for $150 with cam, lifters, throttle body, rockers and various other parts.
