Phantom heads.
By Dave Shoe - 11/23/2002 12:49:48 AM; IP 216.243.176.34
The parts interchange books are all totally screwed. It's been like this for decades.

Long ago the 6049 part numbers got mixed with the 6090 casting numbers, creating a horrid mess that has been a best seller. Hell, these books all ape each other's mistakes to the point that people believe the FE has a bad oiling system, but none has accused the oil pan as being the ONLY weak spot in the oiling system.

The FE head casting numbers are ascually not very complicated to memorize, if that happens to be what inspires you. I've left out a couple of available casting numbers of full emissions heads, such as C6AE-Y, because they aren't common and they're all the same anyway.

If there is one lesson to be learned here, it's, "Don't believe everything you read". If there is another, it's "recognize that Shoe wasn't particularly involved in the FE until just recently, and in this short time he's been shoving all kinds of implausible crap down our throats. Watch out for that guy."
