Rock Auto

When i search cylinder heads for a 429/460 for 1970 on rock auto it comes up with a set of marshall cylinder heads for 390 bucks per head incuding the 50 dollor core. would these really be a recreation of 1970 429 heads? or just a smog 1978-79 head.

18mm SPARK PLUG HOLES, W/O SMOG & SCREW IN STYLE STUDS CAST DOVE-C, C8VE, C9VE. that sem to be a way easier way than going an finding a junk set of old castings

They both ARE the stock casting. These are old Ford heads that have been rebuilt. They are not new. I dont think anyone makes NEW cast iron heads.

yep. Small chamber, non hardened valve seats. etc. They are the heads. That's why the core charge. If you had a set of those heads you would send them back and they would rebuild them and sell them to someone else.
