1934 ford heads
Anyone seen heads like these before? What looks like it may be a date stamp says 5-11-51.
They are cast iron and on a Canadian 1934 ford tudor. Any guesses as to what the little arrow means? |

Re: 1934 ford heads
Service replacement parts cast (supposably) June 11, 1951. Nothing special about them, In other words, of little value.

Re: 1934 ford heads
The arrow indicates the time of the work shift that they were cast. As Mike mentions, candidates for large scale model boat anchors.

Re: 1934 ford heads
Thanks for confirming what I thought. I guess the heads do the job as he said he had the motor running (with those wires?)

I would be surprised if FORD produced THAT head. Too many details just don't look like a "FORD" casting. Maybe someone like "Western Auto" or some such aftermarket outfit. Coop . |

Re: 1934 ford heads
Agreed. I see what looks to be a parting line in the casting right at the spark plug holes. Don't recall seeing that before, but never looked.
