| RE:C6AE-Rs R good |

These heads are good ones. They've been discussed numerous times on this forum but I know there are new readers constantly. Dave Shoe has extolled the virtues of these heads and he knows the details. What I can say from memory of Dave's posts is this: They make great pseudo Cobra Jet 428 heads, the vaunted C8OE-N. Have the CJ valves installed, 2.09-I, 1.66-E, have your machinist do some pocket port work done while he's(she's?) doing the valve work. That's about it. Oh, if you are installing these C6-Rs into a Uni body car, Fairlane, Comet, Cougar, Mustang, Montego, Torino, Cyclone.....make sure the provided bosses have been drilled/tapped to accept the correct exhaust manifolds. If the bosses haven't been drilled/tapped, go ahead and have it done since it will offer more future adaptability to these fine heads.
As for application, they saw duty on various FE powered vehicles from early '66 to ...... ? Not sure. But they're not emisson heads and that's good in my opinion. Not that working to save our environment is a bad thing either. It 's just that what we do with these heads now.... I don't think it matters too much anymore. |
