Are the V8 heads designated as left or right -- if so which head on the engine is left and which is right?

Imagine the engine in a conventional orientation with the flywheel at the rear, and yourself in the driver's seat. The "right" side of the engine is on the "right" (passenger) side of the car. So, when you mount the engine transversely, the right head is on the rear, and the left head is on the front, as mounted in the car. btw, #1-4 cylinders are on the "right" side, starting at the front (away from the flywheel.)
