Hello all. Well I pulled off the intake manifold, rockers and pushrods. Getting ready for new cam and a 4v intake and carb. As some of you may already know I have a 65 f100 352. The motor has 140,000 miles and was rebuilt 40,000 ago. The valves look good as do the springs. My question is: the casting numbers on the cylider heads reads C4AE 6090G from what I can find these are not the original heads for the 352. The intake ports on the heads measure 2.34 tall by 1.34 wide. From what I can find these heads came off a 427 CJ motor. IS this correct? Are these good heads to have? Will these heads play a factor into cam, intake and carb choice?
Bill, You are right, it was Carroll Shelby that caused all them grown men to get weak in the knees and drool and slobber all over themselves at the mention of 427 anything.
Yeah that C3AE number looks real familiar, as i kick myself in the ***!!
Dont kick youself too hard.I just let a complete C3 390 from a T-bird slip by for $125 on Ebay last night. 70 miles from me and no easy way to go pick it up right now. I do have a lead on a '65 352 down the road. Just hoping the owner wants little for it.
Some port clean up and a little bowl work and some CJ size valve's...C4"s will flow as well as out of the box Edheads......Make sure to check your intake to your heads for ports match....and also port match your gaskets.... JMO
Oh Bob, you better watch about getting Larry nervous!!! He'll bring out the Wagon and spank you with it at the track.....There can be nothing so embarrassing as to have a 4 dr. wagon put your *** on the trailer !! LOL.....
You wish and so do I that we had those C4G heads you had ported with those high bench flow numbers of last year Russ. Someone out there is happy with 'em I bet.
speaking of this bench flow system. Does any machinist have this or is it something you find only at Dyno houses or ? Any idea on cost to have a set tested?
