I'm not the expert on this, but they are definitely not LS6 heads, LS6 heads are 243 castings, that is all that I can help with. I think that the truck heads have a bigger combustion chamber around 72cc maybe?

317 heads are truck heads with 72cc chambers. They will lower the compression of your engine and they do not perform as well as LS6 heads stock for stock.
