RE: Canadian heads |

I cannot verify the following paragraph from first hand knowledge but this is what I have heard.
The 1968 GTE Cougar with the 390 horse 427 engine had head numbers of either C8WE-A or C8AE-J. I have been told that the Canadian heads are actually cast from the C8WE-A mold but the casting number was changed to match the C8OE-N number so they could be used for S/S drag racing on the 428 CJ.
Also, in my previous post I failed to print the runner volumes that we use at NHRA for the regular C8OE-N and the Canadian C8OE-N heads. They are as follow:
Regular C8OE-N intake runner=155cc, exhaust=123cc
Canadian C8OE-N int. runner=174cc, exh.=125cc
This shows how much larger the intake runner with it's larger bowl under the intake valve actually is. Again the regular C8OE-N and the Canadian C8OE-N heads use the same intake gasket. Those Ford engineers were tricky rascals. |
