Use for engine with original equipment external water by pass. ID marking 8EQ-B marked on top side of head.

No FoMoCo Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

8EQ-6049 .. Cylinder Head-Right (Passenger) Side.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has ONE = 913-220-5746.

Note: Knowing that Ford changes (replaces/updates) part numbers more often than women change their minds, I thought if I dropped the head's part number suffix, I might get better results.

I do not know if this head is different than 8EQ-6049-B .. because it is not listed in the 1948/56 Ford Truck Parts Catalog. Neither is 8EQ-8548 .. see below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8EQ-8548-B .. Radiator By Pass Water Tube-Steel.

NORTZ & VIRKLER FORD in Lowville NY has ONE = 315-376-6594.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has ONE = 800-476-9653.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's another example of Ford changin' the part number...

8EQ8548 .. Radiator By Pass Tube.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

LINCOLN OLD PARTS STORE in Clearwater FL has FOUR = 727-445-7551.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
8EQ-8549 .. Water By Pass Tube / 3/4" O.D. approx 12 1/2" long-curved with flange.

NORTZ & VIRKLER FORD has ONE.
Thanks for the info, Bill. Unfortunately, the head has to have the -B suffix or it won't have the bypass port. I am going to buy the left side pipe, (8EQ-8549) though! I had only come up with a couple rights.

I found a head! A customer gave me the name of a junkyard that had some Big Jobs, and they shipped the one I needed to me. Thanks for everyone's help.
