Please Help ID these Heads
I picked up this engine in a trade. It is curtly in a 47 Sportsman. I managed to get a pic of the bell with the 59 casting but not sure what these Heads are? They have a A casting and then the Ford script below and nothing else.

Apparently someone had gone to the trouble of relieving the heads if they have been installed on a 59 series block.

Re: Please Help ID these Heads
The "Big A" heads are the 81A types. They just didn't put the 81 on there. They were used on both 221 and early 239 engines in the several years that they were in common use. Kube has it on the valve clearance difference. They made a kit to modify early heads to work on the post war engines where the valve angles were changed. They were decent heads and some folks still seek them for the correctness on the prewar engines.
