| RE: C6AE-U heads |
| By Mike McQuesten - 11/09/2002 12:35:23 AM; IP 63.191.224.126 |
Just to get a thread going on this interesting question my theory is this:
The '66 Fairlane GT or GTA 390 used the C6AE-R head.
Maybe late in '66 or early in '67 the C6AE-U was phased into production. So it's possible that there were some late '66 Fairlane GTs with these heads.
It's much more likely that the C6AE-U was used on the early '67 390 GT or even the standard 4V and 2V applications.
All just conjecture. I too would like to know more.
Recently John Saxon found a set of "GT" heads in a boneyard up North. I put the quotes around GT because we don't know for sure that they were from a real GT. The heads were not bolted on an engine. But there was a C6OE unibody exhaust manifold on one side and a C7OE bolted to the other. They looked like a matching set of heads except one is a C6AE-U and the other is a C7AE. Other than the casting #s they look identical. Could this be a factory installation? I personally wouldn't rule it out.
Good question Mike. Lets see what others may contribute. |
