Is the part number 68-6049 A and B in cast iron?

If you order '36 heads the cast numbers are 68-6049 - passenger side and 68-6050 - drivers side....'34 heads are 40-6049 and 40-6050....

Here are pictures of the '34 Cast Aluminum heads I got from Kearney >

[JM 35 Sedan]

The 68-6049/50 were service heads that came out in '36. They are for use with domed top pistons. If you happen to have domed top pistons in your '34 engine you could use those heads, but they would not be show correct.

The 40-6049/50 heads, in aluminum or cast iron, were used in pass. cars from '33-'36 with flat top pistons.

The aluminum Kearney heads are beautiful reproductions, and cost was $1500.00/set the last time I checked.

You should be able to pick up good used or maybe nos original cast iron heads pretty easily, but finding good used original aluminum heads is more challenging.

Check with Fred Wilner at SSO to see if he has NOS. Barnfind08.

I MIGHT have what you need.I believe the are 33 or 34. No numbers on the outside face of the head.....only the Ford logo .21 stud. Just behind the water pump flange where the head curves over to the head gasket area are the numbers 7-15-40 (left) and 1-26-39 (right). I soaked them in vinegar for about a month so they should be pretty clean. They are for flat top pistons.I have no idea what they're worth so maybe someone could throw out a guestimation.

I have a pair of what were NOS script heads, sans part numbers, cast iron heads when I put them on my 34 years ago, and immediately replaced them with aluminum heads. They are for flat to pistons, thus 40 part number. They have surface rust and some bolt holes plugged up by dirt dobbers, which simply can't stand an open hole.

Being cast iron they would be costly to ship. What are they worth to you?

Thanks to all who replied I have got a set coming my way.

I am also looking for right and left Aluminum cylinder heads new or used in good condition for my 1934 Fordor deluxe sedan 21 bolt V8 engine 85HP. Can any one help. I bought a few used ones on line and they were all ended up unusable with cracks. Thanks

Cast iron heads, '32 - '36 are worth (if you're lucky) the cost of postage. I tossed a number of sets last year as I got tired of advertising them for free - just the cost of shipping and having guys complain the shipping was too high.
I don't set the postage rates boys.

JM 35 Sedan,

It's the conventional wisdom that 68- prefix heads were service only but a search of the engineering release records at the BFRC in Dearborn revealed that they were indeed released for production use late in the '36 model year.

'33 production aluminum heads have no part numbers or Ford script cast into their surface. It is only with the release of cast iron heads that the part number was added (I guess someone assumed that engine plant and parts counter workers could not tell the difference between cast iron and aluminum heads, just like they did with early '32 V8 heads which are marked R and L; a bit of an insult.) Ford script did not get added to either four-cylinder or V8 heads until August, 1934, late in the '34 model year.

Good point! LOL

Pete, I have a set of those and they have strange combustion chambers. There is a trough leading to the spark plug area. Mine are 34 PN but are for domed pistons. Do you have any specs on them?
