Default Re: 8 RT Heads

If you read the 48-54 parts books, it shows 8BA heads for 48-51, but were superceded to the 8RT heads, so technically both are correct for the 48-51 years, but 8RT only for 52-53 years. I put 8RT heads on mine, as they were nicer looking than the 8BA heads that were on my engine which came out of a 51 F-2. Alot of the 8RT engines were worn out by the early 60's, and were replaced with 8BA engines from cars. I mis-read my parts book. I stand corrected.
