[Hank]

I have a set of these heads and they have R.J. initials cast in them? Does anybody have info on these?

 

[Tom]

Hank,
It appears to be a special heat treatment code for your 1966 racing head. Go here for more info.

Thanks someone told me these were reproduction heads, the story behind them don't relate to that.

I think the repro heads had round pushrod holes like later Ford heads rather than the slotted ones.

The tea time books are all pretty much the same in detail.
For 260 - 289 parts we refer to Bill Carroll's guide. (and JacMac of course)

Several copies on the U.K. Abe books site. the Doncaster book shop has one for about $15 with I think free world wide shipping

 

[Hank]

I had these authenticated and they are original's, I will be taking them to my machinists to be magged and checked out, then they will be for sale.

Just picked up a copy of the Des Hammill book, probably half the book is related to the OHC engines.
