Topic: FORD FLATHEAD HEADS


t35    -- 02-20-2016 @ 10:41 AM
  i recently salvaged some heads from an old garage(appear new)
they are 21 stud and have a number 77e60050
there is also a ford logo.
there's no place for water pumps.
there is also a firing order embedded.
does anyone know what these fit and do they have any value? i was thinking of putting them on ebay if i can identify them.
thanks in advance
tom

  Cylinder heads for 21 studs with no place for water pumps and the water outlets located in the center of the top of the heads are for 1937 Ford 85 HP engines. They were available in either aluminum or cast iron.

  This thread may be talking about the heads you have: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=189280&highlight=6050. By the way I think you have an extra "0" in your number. If I remember correctly a lot of these heads came over surplus from Europe in the 1960's and 1970's. The early production heads in '37 were aluminum and later changed to the cast iron heads that were originally intended for the truck (thus the 77 prefix on something used on a car). These heads also fit the 21 stud engines produced in 1938.

  Charlie is right on about these.
And, although I don't want to burst your bubble I will offer a dose of reality. You'll find it difficult to give these away for the cost of postage only.
I have had NOS and ended up throwing them away. Offered many times free in many places... no bites.
