those head are for a 350.so much for the motor being stock.3970020 is a 307.andyone no the cc and valve size on those heads.mortec says the year and thats all.

vi117toj.

Take another look at this, V1117TOJ but the O is not supposed to be there. I and 1 are used interchangeably.

btw-The T in the suffix is pointing to this engine as coming from a Truck

Taking a guess I would say the suffix is TCJ which would be a 1973 307-155hp manual trans, 2-bbl carb RPO L14 used in 1/2 ton trucks, Chevy and GMC
