215/223/262 heads

I am looking for a head for the 215/223/262 ford engine . I have one that has a triangle shaped combustion chamber and another one that has an oval shaped smaller chamber . the small one is what I am looking for. I was hopeing someone hear would know what year the small chamber was built. It would help me narrow it down to what to look for. Thanks John

215 (1952/53) uses a different head than 223 (1954/64), 223 uses a different head than 262 (1961/64).

There were differences in the 223 connecting rods and crank shafts between the 54-59 and the 60-64 but I wasn't aware of head differences other than how the valve cover was attached.
