Raceco Squarefin heads

I bought a set of original Raceco cylinderheads about 6 or 7 years ago. They are unused, dual plugged, ported with intake manifolds, valve size I'd have to check. I know they don't have the titanium valve springs (that were reported to be a problem). At the time I thought I would possibly build something with them but so far - I haven't.

I don't remember what they would fit for engine size and pistons. How do I go about determining that?

The Raceco shop Manfred owned probably closed up more than a decade ago. I actually don't know Manfred and don't know much about the shop he had but he built racing engines is what I gather. So I can't ask the original maker of the heads.

Does anyone remember Raceco and Manfred? Tell us the story....
 
I knew Manfred, but as a competitor. He and Pete Johnson raced the Raceco Moto Guzzi in AHRMA twins racing back in '94 & '95. I raced against him on the Gotham Ducati. I have tremendous respect for him but I don't think we were friends. I wish we had been but I never got the feeling we were anything other then competitors.
The two Guzzi's he built for Pete Johnson were stupidly fast.
