I haven't seen this information come up in this thread in any of the
references but there is an external marker that denotes Hi-Po heads. On the
corner of each head there is a number that is cast in and if memory serves
me correctly that number is either a 19, 20 or 21. Thus, when I am at a car
show and see a small block Ford that is dressed up like a H-Po I always look
for these corner casting numbers so that I can tell if at least the heads
are Hi-Pos then possibly everything below it could be correct. If the
numbers are not these then I know it is a poser.
