Unless the heads are from a 428 Police Cruiser or Cobra Jet/Super Cobra Jet engine, they are EXACTLY the same heads as the ones used on 1968/72 360/390 truck engines, and 1965/71 352/390/410 passenger cars. While some heads are drilled for smog pump manifolds, the heads are the same otherwise.

What is the casting number on the heads? C8AE-6090-H? If so like Bill said these are just std issue FE heads. The C8OE-6090-N's were the CJ heads that are most common to find on a factory CJ engine.

Ain't that the truth, and the same holds true for some/all (pick one) of the Ford aftermarket Engine & High Performance books and magazines.
