| David casting # 5752143 is part of a casting # system ford used for a very short time somewhere in the late 58 early 59 time frame prior to that they used a casting # that looked like EDC-6090-C after that they used a # that looked like C0AE-6090-D.The early and late systems gave you some idea of what the part you were looking at was and the late system would tell you specific information on what the part was originally designed for and when,this in between system has me baffled.I have also seen Y-block parts of this era using this casting # system.So provided it is definitely an FE engine in your car I would guess that the heads on your engine are late 58 early 59 352 heads that have the as cast combustion chambers,which are essentially the same as all standard performance 352-390 heads up to 1964 with a couple of exceptions one being the 1963 390 4V engine using the C3AE-C heads which had significantly smaller combustion chambers.This head was basically the late 406-6V head with standard size valves and no machining for valve spring seats. |
