    I bought a '48 Ford Tudor Super Delux that someone swapped an early 60s 327 into.

    It has weird heads on it though, and through all my research have not been able to determine what they are exactly.

    Here is a photo of the casting marks:


    I won't be near the car to pull the valve cover and check the casting number until tomorrow. I'm hoping one of the sages on this site can pinpoint what they are based on the casting.

    Thanks!

    Chevy 327 or AMC 327? . . . You know I had to ask.

    Accessory bolt heads came out first for the 1969 model year.

    Hard to tell from the photo, but is the top hole ( closest to the intake) a 7/16-14 thread? There were some early truck/industrial heads that had threaded bosses, two are 3/8-16 and the upper one will be 7/16-14.
    Big chamber, low compression and small valves.

    They are not all that great, 76cc and very prone to cracking.
