Recently took this car in on trade with a CARB'D 351w that had broke a connecting rod.
I'm TOTALLY NEW to Fords so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I have purchased a couple of books and am reading like crazy!
I may be asking a question that may have already been addressed in another post. If so, i again apologize.
I haven't really found the answer i'm looking for.
I have a reasonably low mileage 1996 351 windsor that i am planning on putting in the car. I plan on street driving the car for the most part, so i do not mind the 351 in nearly stock form.
The trade included a set of heads. The numbers on the heads are: C5AE -- one head was dated 10-15-1964 the other was 12-22-1964. Both of them have "289" casted on them as well as the number "65" below the 289.
One has a "B" on one runner and an "11" on another. The other head has a "B" and a "13". They have screw-in studs and guide-plates. (i doubt these were from the factory, not sure).
I've been told by several that these were the "289 hi-po" head. Everything i read says they are not. They do not have the two "dots" above the 289. They do not have the ground spring pads.
Finally, the question:
Will it benefit me to put these heads on the 96 351w, Regardless of whether or not they are the HI-PO head?
I'm getting conflicting info regarding chamber size.
Thank you for any help.
