you can try www.mortec.com (http://www.mortec.com) for the heads. maybe look through summit or jegs trying to match a part number for the pistons. i think the 290 heads are like 109cc closed chamber. i got a set but i dont remember what they are. the ones i had were from a 70 402ci.

There are no numbers on the back of the engine, drivers side, or on the deck surface, passenger side?
