Should I change this head or did this scratch don't have a affect on running the engine. I also want to use the alloy 2 blade fan and hope this one don't brake off at the pulley like my original one. Have got several prices for my 68-B, because it have had all this original stuff installed. That's why I'm a little pissed off by using reproduction parts now.
Did anybody have good appearence with the Snyders high compression head and could I use my old cylinder stud bolts with it?
Thanks for helping me.

The marks on the head from the impellor should pose no problem. The Snyder's 5.5 head is very nice and original looking, and a good thing to add more horsepower. I'm going to use my original studs when I install a higher compression head. Most, if not all the catalogs say to use new studs, but with the loose fit of the new studs I'd rather use my Ford original studs.
