What is the # referring to? Heads? Block?

If its a casting # then it should be longer, about 8 digits.

If I'm not mistaken that 862 casting # is for a 5.3 truck head. Not sure about the year though.

Your heads are 5.3l truck heads. They will have 1.890" intake valves and 1.55" exhaust valves. Chambers will be around 62cc.

This sounds like a great reason to get them ported and polished and built even faster than i was planning.
