RE: C1AE not on true HP 390
By Mike McQuesten - 12/21/2001 10:20:20 PM; IP 63.50.125.10
You won't find C1AE heads originally installed on a '61 390HP engine. Sorry, you just won't. You won't find a '61 T-bird with a factory installed 390HP either.
If you are looking at a true '61 390 High Performance that was rated at 375 with a single Holley or 401 horses with a trio of Holley 2 barrels, you will see heads numbered COAE-6090-D.
The C1AE is a good all around low performance head. I've seen them on lots of standard FEs with 2 barrels and 4 barrels from the factory. A 4 barrel carb does not make a High Performance FE. Hence, you won't find a true HP 390 in a 'bird.

And Jim mentioned C3AE-C........oh man, we've been there before. Now you're talking some HP/Compression building potential. They're confusing but they're good.

Sum it up: The C1AE offers the same potential horsepower production as the C4AE-G and lots of other sandard/common heads. The C1AE does not offer uni-body exhaust manifold adaptability.
