Default 317 heads lq4 or lq9

i was searching up on alot of old threads and all the pictures that were posted are all not working anymore, anyways i read that the lq4 heads had oval exhaust ports, and the lq9 heads had D exhaust ports. i included a pic of what i have and was wondering what you all think it is, it looks like a D but i'm not all that positive

Since 2001, both the LQ4 and LQ9 had 317 heads. Only in 1999-2000 did the LQ4 have different heads, these were cast iron.

it looks like you have a d port head (lq4/lq9) their sup. to be patterened after ls6 heads, but with larger chambers
the carbon on the head makes it look round
