Question C8ae
Better check that casting number again...the number should read C8AE-E, and I could find no reference for the -E suffix.

You are right,sorry.sometimes I get a little dislexic! Are these heads worth getting?The only casting #'s I could find were C8VE-E in my book.

the c8ae heads arent 429/460 heads, theyre actually pretty good fe heads, if you were building a 390/428 those would be the heads youd want

it depends on what youre planning on doing, if its a race gas engine then yep theyre good heads, if not then theyre a waste of money- too small combustion chambers for too high compression on pump gas unless you use a big dish piston
