NOS heads

[alchemy]

They did NOT just use an original Ford head to pull a mold off when they made these heads. If they did that there would be at least 1/4" too short on the end. Patterns for aluminum sandcast molds need to be 102% of final size.

I would think them to be of wall hanger value.

Going off your first sentence this is merely just your opinion and nothing more. No research and going off a picture does not determine these to be wall hangers. I find no value to your opinion and comment.

I like those heads and if "correct" didn't matter, I'd sure attempt to use them for the 'different" appeal.

Here is a pair on EBAY that seller claims NOS.They are new but no Script but a 77- part number

Not rip off or low budget IMHO........I've purchased these heads from Ray @ Job Lot

ages ago and used them with no issues. The boss/bolt hole situation would be times 3
if an existing head was utilized in mold making.
I like them

Same as the heads there were on the engine in the '37 I once owned. I believe the were British manufactured.

Them heads that are listed on eBay with the firing order cast into them are 21 stud heads. The heads I have are 24 stud. I don’t think that would be a fair comparison other than both being aftermarket. I believe the original company who reproduced these heads “Perfection Gear Co.” is still in business, however they moved from Illinois to North Carolina in the early 60’s. I’m considering polishing them and run on my test stand engine. Thanks again.
