Merc Heads
Any difference in Mercury Heads and Ford Heads??
Spoke to a gentleman today that has a 53 Merc, well, one head got ruined at the machine shop and we both got to wondering if a Ford head could be used on the Merc block.

49-53 Mercury Heads.
I have a machined fresh pair of 1950 Mercury Heads , that I just got back from Daytona Auto Machine. These are the cast heads that say Mercury on them.
I had them machined out to compare to the Aluminum OFFY 400.'s . This heads will take the high lift 400 cams and the larger Chev. type valves for your flathead motor. These heads are copper coated inside with a black powder coat on the outside. These have not been put on a motor since I got them back. If you want a stock look on your flattie but want High Performance inside, then these are what you need. I am only selling these becauce I sold the Mercury I had. I have $ 438.00 in these head. I will take a rock bottom price of 300.00 for them. You would not be disappointed. You can use these on a stock motor as well. Let me know if you need them. Thank you Dave.
memorylane60@charter.net. They are still in the box . shipping would be around 35.00 . I live in Michigan These heads were Magnfluxed and trued.
These are one of a kind heads.

Merc 8CM heads are similar to 8RT as far as compression ratio goes. Any other Ford head would improve things a bit.
