Number Dummy please help with cylinder head confusion

1962 serial #280923 223 engine


I got NOS Rocker Arm Shaft C1AZ6563A (stamped on outside of tube - FORD dealer said tube was unopened). It is center drilled for the oil return tube. However my cylinder head requires an end drilled oil return tube. I suspect the head may have been changed. Part number embossed on head is C1AE6090D. Can you identify the fitment of this head? If it's a replacement can you supply correct rocker arm shaft number?


Thank you.

Casting number embossed on head is C1AE6090D. Can you identify the fitment of this head? If it's a replacement can you supply correct rocker arm shaft number?
Casting numbers are foundry marks, cannot be cross referenced to Ford part numbers, but C1AE = 1961.

1957/63 truck parts catalog says 1960 head is one year only. Also says 1961/63 223 head is the same, it's also the same for 1964 in 1964/72 truck catalog.

1960: Ford changed the design of the 223 head, the valve cover uses 8 bolts to attach it.

1954/59: Two studs pass thru the center of the valve cover, acorn nuts retain cover in place.
