Unknown cylinder head

**galaxiejohn** · 05-19-2008, 05:58 PM

I have a set of heads from a 427. Where the ford casting number should be there is 2143, which dont sound like a ford number. The intake with them is a C3AE-9452-J and has 2 4bbl hollys on it. Any help with the heads would be great.

Posting pictures of the heads and the areas between the center two plugs is what we'd need to help ID them.

Maybe a set of 3 or 4 pics.

Hey Mr. DH,
When I looked at the JPGs, I said to myself: "Now there's some UGLY heads!".

Yeah, they are rough. Any idea on the ID? I will post pics of intake and carbs tonight.

Those are 1959 FE heads from a 332 or 352 also used on the 361 Edsel in stock form they had 70-74 cc chamber with 2.02" intake valves and 1.55" exhaust. Not a very good match for a 427 8V.

When I compair these heads to a set off a 390 the intake ports are much larger on these.
