Casting numbers are meaningless on most FE's

During 1967 there were casting number C6AF-U, C7AE-A, C6TE-A, C6AE-R and other heads made for FE's used across the line of displacements. Any of these heads could show up in pairs of matched castings on 352, 390, 410 or 428 engines. The same castings were used in light trucks powered by FE's also.

On a 390GT application they were drilled for a 14 bolt exhaust and received a little better valve spring. Otherwise 390GT heads are like any other FE head for a given year. All had the same 2.02" and 1.55" valves.

It's easy to get confused because all the reference books are wrong.
