I think a D0VE headed engine is a Super cobra jet engine? the others were avalible until 97 in a F700 with EFI. As was said unless with the SCJ heads, the engine is a destroked 460. those heads are SWEET! but rare.

You are correct, I was mistaken. but the D0ve heads are better than the head on the newer engines.
The D0VE-A block is known as the "thick web" block and was used for CJ's as well as standard passenger cars. It is a desirable block.
The D0VE-C heads are standard "N" code heads with the smaller ports and valves. They are still a desirable early model cyl. head as they feature smaller combustion chambers and factory screw-in studs.
The CJ/SCJ heads will have casting numbers D0OE-R, and have much larger ports and valves as well as the smaller combustion chambers and screw-in studs that the D0VE's have.
They also made a D0VE-A head witch wa very similar to the D0VE-c head. the "0" means it is a 1970 casting.

Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree at all with you. The CJ/SCJ head part number is one of the few "for sure" part numbers I know!
I apprenticed under a guy who had (well, still has) a '71 429SCJ Mustang and it is a strong running car and has the correct heads.
And I'm not saying how long ago I was an apprentice, we'll just say I've been through a whole bunch of calendars since!
