Which Edelbrock heads are on your engine?

I only put about 50 miles on the truck before I tore the truck apart, but it "screamed" down the road. I plan on taking taking the oil pan, valve covers and timing cover off to make sure everything looks "ok" before I re-gasket everything. I plan on taking it to a engine dyno to see what type of power it makes and fine tune it before I drop it back into my truck this spring. The previous owner claimed it was around 500 Hp at the crank, so I will be surprised to see what it actually makes on the dyno. It runs ok on pump gas, but it ran much better on 100 octane.........
