Yes kinda, but the word easy might be easier for some over others. The original head should have the delta foundry mark cast on the water pump mount, and the Brumfield had the BF logo and other markings. If you have studied the shape of the original heads enough, you can also discern the slight difference of the top of the BF. The Snyder heads have a small circle cast that has what looks like centering punch marks on the top. Now for some of us who have use sneaky tactics to camouflage an aftermarket H/C head to appear as an original head, all bets are off then.
