High compression head
Would like to pick up a 5.5:1 head used if possible and need to know the dimension from the bottom face of the head to the crown over the piston. With out that would there be another way of telling what the compression ratio is? Thanks for any info

In general, Model B heads ( with a giant C on top) are 4.6:1, stock A heads are 4.22:1, The "police head" (with a giant B on top) is 5.22:1, Snyder has a 5.5 and a 6.0 ( the majority are 5.5), Brumfields ran from 5.9 to whatever was special ordered and they have a BF cast on the top of the head. Your odds of finding a used HC head are slim, but there are some around, mostly police heads and Snyder 5.5 heads. The most common have a heart shaped combustion chamber. Winfields came in 3 ratios, determined by the serial number, but they're scarce as hens teeth and very pricey. link to Vince's page on Ford heads http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/ABcy...comparison.htm link to Vince's page on Simmons head http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/simmonscylinderhead.htm |
