I have these two heads that came of the same engine. I am a about to do final assembly of my 59a engine and suddenly discover that there is a difference in the combustion chamber design and thereby Volumen - can any confirm or disconfirm if this is right thank you

Real cheater heads had a comp ratio stamped behind the water outlets. Sometimes enterprising folks ground those numbers off. Real Canadian heads seem to have thinner walls on the water outlets and appear to be lighter than the cheater versions. My cheater heads have NSN in the center and my real Canadian heads have Ford in script in the center. I think a lot of real Canadian heads have been sold to represent HC heads.

The heads should have the same combustion chamber designs and associated volume. Somebody put a mismatched set on your engine - you really should fix this issue.
