| RE: What do you think about these heads? |

Just read your post/request tonight and it looks like there's 3 days to go on those heads so you've got time. I just responded to another posters request for info regarding the C6AE-R heads.
As I said in the other answer/post they're great heads. Yes they were the heads bolted on '66 428 Police Interceptors as well as 352-2Vs, 390-2Vs, '66, early '67 GT 390s. Pre emission heads. The '66 428 PIs had solid lifters so there was adjustable rockers on those. But nothing else was special about them. I have a set still bolted to a '66 352-2V removed from a '66 pick-up. They will be unbolted from the old '52 and used on a future FE project.
So to answer your specific questions:
It doesn't matter that they're unmatching #s unless you plan a concours resto.
They'll work well with 9.4:1 pistons if these pistons have been designed to go with the C6-R cc volume thus offering a true 9.4:1 or a little higher.
I see the seller has an opening bid of $100 which does not meet his/her reserve. I personally would not pay more than a $100 for a set of C6AE-R heads. Actually I think $50-$75 is about right. With a little boneyard scrounging they're still easily found. Especially lift the hoods of any '66 Ford/Merc/pickup. But if you're not around too many good old car wrecking yards maybe something like $125 is still reasonable to you. Plus you have to pay his/her $15 boxing charge and add in the shipping which may very likely be around $100 total for this set to reach you.
Opinion about eBay sellers who charge a packaging-boxing fee....naw I shouldn't use that language here or anywhere for that matter. |
