Hi guy's/gals, question for the BBC wizards

Looking to possibly purchase a car (B-Body) that has had a 454 swapped in from a '76 3/4 ton pickup. Would this engine have the dreaded "peanut ports? From what I understand, the light duty truck never came with the HD tall deck "truck block" and got a regular passenger car block. DiD GM ever put "truck heads" (peanuts) on passenger car blocks or only on the HD tall deck? I have never read any thing that explained if truck heads came only on truck blocks, or if they also came on passenger car blocks that were installed in trucks...

I'm just trying to determine if this car has the good ovals or the bad...

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Will

unless somebody swapped differant heads on the short block, it will have the peanut ports.
