I’ve gotten like 2 or 3 different convoluted answers. I was hoping for more concise information on this head specifically as opposed to what it could or might be or what other engines had in the 70’s

LA 915 heads found on 72-up 340's and 360's. Usually have 1.88 intake (some might have got 2.02), 1.60 exhaust, open chambers. Might also be called "J" heads. Looks like you have 273 rockers too.
Thanks for the info!!

915's were as early as 70 model 340
Look next to the spark plug holes for a letter. That's also a helpful identifier.
Early 915B castings. Might be 2.02 intakes, might be 1.88's. As Rusted RR(LOL) said, the letter next to the spark plug holes can help. Just pokin' a little fun at you, Georgia. You've always been a good source of information.
915's come with two different valves. 70-71 have 202 valves- 72-73 have 188 valves . They come on 340 motors but will be found on 360's.

Your heads were made the 216th day of 1970 for the 1971 model year so they should have 2.02 and 1.60 valves. Kim
