Your correct. Bob Mannel states in his book that the HiPo heads
carry the number 18,19,20 or 21, located below one of the end exhaust ports
and also on the bottom side of the head.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Hipo Heads
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.
