Those numbers don't exist.

You've got either C6AE-6090-R or C8AE-6090-H heads.If they have the tall runners (like 1958-65 heads), then they're the C6AE-R castings. If thy're the shorter runer design, then they're the C8AE-H heads.

Note also that the books are wrong. There are no C8AE-6090-A or C8AE-6090-B heads for the FE. There are C8AE-6049-A and C8AE-6049-B head assemblies, but head assembly numbers are about useless, since the head assembly numbers mentioned were used only on the production line, not at the service counter, and were never marked on the head assemblies.

If they are C6AE-R heads, as found on about a third of FEs in 1966-67 only, they're easily converted to CJ specs. C8AE-Hs are a somewhat different casting, though still quite worthy of being put to use in performance applications. The C8AE-H heads were standard on most all 1968-71 FE engines except the CJ.
