All I know about the compression ratio is that it was the same as the Weiand finned heads of the era. They are great heads if you are going for a "sleeper" looking engine. They were built for the sportsman class racing that required stock ford heads. They usually passed inspection. Mine were painted ford green and the paint was old!

Re: Weiand Cheater Heads
Yes, because yours are real ford. The cheater heads said only Canada. Thought that was explained well but the Weiand cheater heads say Canada, the ford heads say "made in Canada" on them.

Re: Weiand Cheater Heads
When considering "used" heads there are a few things to look for.
1. Corrosion. That is easy with a close inspection. 2. Straightness. If they are warped you may be able to clean them up by milling. 3. AND MOST IMPORTANT chamber size. If they have been milled to raise compression or straighten them you may not have enough clearance for even a stock cam. While most aftermarket and Canadian heads were great when new, it is hard to tell the chamber size without CCing them. Just my 2¢..

Re: Weiand Cheater Heads
Found a copy of an ad in an Honest Charley catalog from 1961. Seems this head was available in two different compression ratios. I like the 1961 price.
