Just a guess but think the AB you are referring to is in 59AB which are 24 stud heads up until the introduction of the 8ba series in 1949 (1948 in trucks) EAB were the later year 8ba series ('52 & '53 I think) Ford heads. The EAB heads were higher compression than the earlier 8ba heads. The 8rt truck heads were the lowest compression of the 3.
