		Essentially they're all the same.   But there's one exception, the head casting #  C8OE-N.    That's the 428 Cobra Jet.   The valve sizes on this head are 2.09- Intake/  1.66-Exhaust.  
  A good all around head to look for is the C6AE-R.   A very similar combustion chamber to the C8OE-N.  They have the "tall" intake port.   They have the provisions cast by the exhaust ports to accept either the CJ or the GT/uni-body exhaust manifolds.   Some of the '66 heads are already drilled/tapped for the GT/uni-body manifolds.
  My too many cents worth is that the C6AE-R is as good as the Cobra Jet C8OE-N except for concours "correct" 428CJ powered cars.  |
