Can someone identify these heads.I know they are 327 from 68

Is the a way that you can get the valve cover(s) off and get the casting numbers......

Pop the valve cover off, get the cast # and casting date. Date will be something like A 16 8 - Jan 16 '68 for example.

From what I gather they flow similar to the old double humps. Only thing is they don't have the closed chambers, they are a 76 cc open chamber for low compression. Used on 250 horse engines and also came on some 400 small blocks as well. Nothing special in other words.

Back in the late 80's or early 90's, either Car Craft or Hot Rod did a flow bench comparo of several of the cast iron "smog" heads common in the late 60's through the 80's. The 441 flowed the best of all of those tested. In fact, at that time, the only factory heads that out-flowed them were the double-hump heads (461, 186, 462, etc.), and the 291 turbo heads. FWIW, the 487X came in second, and the 882 came in nearly dead last.

Like was said they are nothing special. They weren't bad for the time, I had a set on my 355 but ran big dome SRP pistons to get like 10.5-1.

Don't forget the over the counter angle plug 492's.

Below is a good link for looking up old GM heads and what their castings are.
