My 1946 Canadian FORD MERCURY MONARCH shop manual states ''install cylinder head 6049 on the right hand bank, and 6050 on the left hand bank. Look for the part numbers on the heads as each will fit on the other bank but if put on the wrong side will set up an ENGINE VIBRATION owing to a difference in volume of the combustion chamber".
Hope this helps.
