Default teardown the 406, I get 2-surprises

Ok so I order new ceramic headers and flowmaster American Thunder system for my 406ci Edelbrock EFI 72' Camaro SS. A bad surprise turned into 2 good ones!
Well after removing the old hooker headers I noticed that some of the bolt holes for the headers are stripped. So I tear off the intake to remove the heads to get them repaired. As soon as I pull the intake I see Retro-fit Roller lifters. I scream out " It's a roller motor"!
Some of you might remember me posting about converting over to a roller cam. Well all i have to do is order the roller cam I want now.

Surprise #2:
I noticed when I removed the valve cover that the heads had canted valves like a big block. I cannot find a name on the heads but I do have serial numbers on them. I took them to a local speed shop and they were speechless, they said that they have never seen such a drastic offset on the intake valve(said looked like 10 degrees), but told me that they are probably trick-flow twisted wedge race heads, or AFR's. I will post pics tommorow of them. Maybe some one can indentify them.
