Kong Head for Model A/B engine
Has anyone ever seen a Kong head for the A/B engines? How rare are they? How are they as far as performance?
Thanks, Scott |

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
Picture I saw today is one a friend sent me. He just acquired it. It is unmachined. It certainly looks like an A head but I need to see it in person. I am not comfortable posting a pic because it’s not mine. I am interested in the value because I would love to have it but I fear that it’s way out of my league as far as price goes. ( that is if he ever decides to sell it). Thank you for the reply and if I get permission I will post some pics.
Thanks, Scott |

I guess technically it’s a B head as there was no water pump provision in the head.

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
I knew Kong, but never saw or heard of a Model A head by him. He was most noted for his V8 ignitions but did make V8 heads in the 80's. They had the fins going 'the wrong way', vertically. Kong was our contact for our 'Winfield week-ends'.

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
Do you also have a picture of the “important” side?

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
Also it looks like a flathead intake manifold beside it.

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
You are correct. A v8 intake next to it.
What v8 has a bolt pattern like that? |

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
It looks like a V8 head at first glance but the bolt pattern is not for a V8, no way. I think it could be for an A or B. I see a hole for the distributor, the plugs would be centered between the valves with the last four head bolts right next to them. I don't know what he water pump deal would be, unless the head is super thick. Maybe a remote pump/no pump? Does it say Kong? I can't tell. If Jim Brierly hasn't seen one, it has to be super rare.

Re: Kong Head for Model A/B engine
Maybe a 60HP flathead?

That's an A or B bolt pattern.
