Pulled my valve covers, and found these casting numbers on the heads... 8D30

It's an 88 GT. what head is this? I thought 87-93 5.0's come with an E7TE?

That is a date code, not the casting number.

The casting number is on the bottom of the intake runners.
The cylinder head has to be off the engine... unless you pull the intake and use a mirror under the head.
