I got a line on some heads from a 69' Mach I. The guy hasn't gotten me the casting numbers yet but I am wondering if any of you code wizards out there could tell me the possible casting numbers. I may save him the trouble of looking for the casting numbers if there is no possibility of them being the "good" heads. Large ports/valves and smaller combustion chamber. Thanks. ------------------ Candy Apple 66' Coupe 15" Styled Steel Wheels IP: 204.27.149.88 |

That's a nice site Chip linked to My $.02 is if its really a 69 motor they would have to be C9 heads... ------------------ Marcus Fast, Reliable, Cheap.... Pick any TWO of these words. 68 Mustang, still in purgatory. BOYCOTT EXCESSIVE MOTORSPORTS IP: 63.201.231.23 |

Really? I haven't encountered a windsor with C8 casting dates. Are they the same as the C9 castings? ------------------ Marcus Fast, Reliable, Cheap.... Pick any TWO of these words. 68 Mustang, still in purgatory. BOYCOTT EXCESSIVE MOTORSPORTS IP: 63.201.231.23 |

Yes Marcus, the very early 351W 4V castings are C8 pieces. We have a set in our shed. Alex------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator Fleet of FoMoCo's too long to list! http://superstockers.homestead.com/week.html IP: 205.188.198.184 |

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I'll let him hunt up the casting numbers. That site is a pretty good resource. According to this it looks like all the heads from 69' to 77' are pretty usable for decent horsepower. I suppose there could be port characteristics that over ride the valve and chamber size. Too bad it doesn't have a column for open or closed. Thanks again.------------------ Candy Apple 66' Coupe 15" Styled Steel Wheels IP: 204.27.149.80 |

Alex, that page never finished. Is that the whole URL or is my browser goofed? Nice banner though.------------------ Candy Apple 66' Coupe 15" Styled Steel Wheels IP: 204.27.149.88 |
