Hi guys,

Since my purchase of my 58 Park Lane in July, I keep buying odds and ends as I see them. I saaw a set of rebuilt heads on E-Bay that happened to be within driving distance of my location. They were for a 462 and from a 67 Lincoln. The part number of the heads was C8VE-8090-B. Which is a '68 part number. Maybe it is the last revision of these heads? Maybe a replacement part sometime at the dealership. I thought the later heads had a somewhat of a chamber to lower compression, but these were completely flat. Would these heads retro back to 58? If so or if not, what are the differences between the early and later heads?

thanks,
Mark Piechowski

The heads will bolt on, but as I understand later cylinder heads have smaller runners and valves. I have just ordered Engine Spec Sheets from a rebuilder organization and hopefully all theses specs will be given.
Interesting about the lack of a combustion chamber in the head as I was told the 462 had a very small chamber. Learn something everyday.
