RE: C3AE-C cc?
By Travis Miller - 07/25/2001 10:45:53 PM; IP 205.188.192.52
In the early '90's I pulled a 390/300 out of a 4-dr '63 Galaxie 500 that I had bought from the son of the original owner. The build date on the car was late May 1963. This original engine had C3AE-C heads with the 2.037 intake and 1.566 exhaust valves. I did not mill the heads but did cc them after the valve job. By swapping valves around in the chambers, I was able to get each one to read 72.0 cc's.

These heads would have had to be milled a long way to reach the advertized 56.4 minimum cc's. I sometimes wonder if Ford's factory specs were a little bogus.
This thread, so far...
