I don't think they are from the pics you have posted. Last set of Yella Terra heads I saw had YT on the casting - not stamped.
Are the rockers engraved ?

From memory, Yella Terra heads have a round tube where the head bolts go through, rather than a solid piece of casting

Yella Terra rockers should have the letters YT stamped on them.....If they are Yella Terra roller rockers, it doesn mean the heads are made by the same company....Yella Terra make roller rockers for just about any motor

come twin throttle work great f/i not the best n/a compared to single plane.

Only when aiming for n/a 500hp or more do you start to need larger valves & pocket porting with decent comp bump...it's also when really need to start looking at how to keep them together like oil mods,arp rod & bolt kits.

It makes f/i look like a smarter choice when compare results to hipo n/a 355...but they sound so good!!!
