427 head questions...

[Chevy454]

I have a few ?'s regarding the heads used on the '69 Camaros...so please bear with me!

1. What is the part # for the 840 head? the 291?

2. Was the 291 used on any '69 cars, or was this head just a service replacement?

3. Are the 291 & 840 identical?

I have been looking at my Chevrolet by the Numbers, and these questions came to mind. According to Colvin's book, the 840 ended production and the 291 began production in May of '69...is this too late for a COPO car?

Any ideas guys?
