Did GM make 709 cylinder heads?

I have a 07Saab97x same as Trailblazer 5.3LH6 325CI where the casting
(front of each head) on my head
I can read first #being 7 third# being 9, second # is a blur could be a 0 or 9.

I would like to have 799s so is there another location for head#?

thanks

It may be a 70(6) we see those once in a while. You can find them on some Saab's, GMC envoys and Isuzu Ascenders

No, there was no 709 head.

There likely 799 heads

As said in the other thread, the LS9 is a terrible choice. You'd regret it forever.

Pick a 5.3 truck focused camshaft, lots of options in your other thread.
