what heads do I have

Post by retired 1 » Mon 7. Dec 2009, 11:43

I came across some lincoln heads with a C6VE 6090 B. What are they and will they fit a 430-468? Thanks for your input.

The casting number indicates a 1966 and up cylinder head.
Check out this for basic 462 cid engine specs and casting numbers at the bottom of that post

The runners will not match up (they're too small) with a MEL 430 intake from '61-'65 resulting in an obstruction of the flow of the air-fuel mixture.
