Temp sensor for sure.
Cant tell you why, but I'd search around and see if any old sbc 350 heads or other vett heads or even impala heads had the coolant temp sensor on the passenger side. I'm guessing a lt1 from an impala was swapped in at one point or they used the heads from one.

Hm all iron.

Not sure if this pertains or not but I thought all cylinder heads were identical, meaning there is no driver or passenger head. I know on LS cars that's the case and there is a plug on one head and a temp sensor on the other. Is it possible this is the case and somebody swapped heads from side to side on the reinstall but not the sensor?

Temp sensor for PCM?

There's rust on the heads. There shouldn't be if they're aluminum correct??

Those are iron heads for sure.

Hmmm...well research shows the iron heads flow a little better, but if its a whole motor from an lt1 impala then I'm about 15 hp low. Anyone know where the vin number is on the motor??

LT1 heads have coolant crossover on back of each head, cant be switched. Must be why there so fast
