Maybe you don't know that Crane offered ported & polished cylinder heads in their catalog during this time period. There were two versions of SBC heads that could be purchased for around $500. Many Modified racers ran those heads in the late '60s & early '70s. Crane had a production facility set up to manufacture the heads in quantity so it makes sense that AMC contracted with them for the heads. Very much cheaper than new castings.
