Default Re: Reproduction 21 Stud heads

Good info here and also remember the 40- heads with pt# and no Ford script or suffix after the part # . I call those variation 2 or late 33 - early 34 . The ones with suffix and no script are variation 3 and the ones with script and suffix are variation 4 . Just my terminology but as you can see this gets messy and this only goes to mid 34 . Pretty sure Don Rogers touched on it here before but I also have always figured Ford got these from more than one source . On your question of marketability what ones would you copy ? There are enough variations of these to make that a significant decision . Add the fact they are fairly time specific and you have issues with choices and at $1,500 or whatever your market may be thin unless you have the exact variation needed . I would not be a buyer as I have all that I need but IF I was a buyer it would be for the early unmarked ones and the ones with the part # and no suffix or script second choice . No clue on 35-36 types as I don't go there .

Ford's engineering releases indicate that the script was not added until August, 1934, which suggests that all '33s and most '34s were originally equipped with script-less heads.
