Ford Hi-Compression Head Dated 1936

[F.M.]

Ok, I have one more "A" head which is mold dated 1936 which has the same looks as the Police Heads that I have that are cracked. Are they from the same mold, and the same Compression as the Police ones.. No "B" on it .. And its not a 1932 Head..

Yes, It is all the same in and out as the Police Head, except for the date marked on the top & No "B".. Also No #s or Script as your show. I have several of them..

So the business side looks like this? nice.The 1936 service head I have is a stock A design,it appears to be a better quality casting than an original Rouge head..if you have the heart chambers you have some period speed gold brother.

I use the Best graphite head gasket..

You will probably find the Model B gasket matches the combustion chamber better.

Do you mean the Standard 32-34 Model B Gasket ?? The same one used on the Police Head ??.. Would this head also be the same compression of 5:22 like the Police Head..

Yes on the gasket but compare it. Can't help on the compression question.

I have compared the Best graphite combustion chamber shape and they are the same. Difference only the 2 vent holes between cylinders 2 and 3. 509 is the number for the graphtite A gasket.

Can you measure the volume of the police head you have and compare to the head your asking about? That will tell you if the ratio is the same.
