I've been trying to find out what heads I have on my car. The only numbers I can see are on the front of the drivers side head. The number reads..... 12157...... does anyone have a clue what model/size these heads are? Where can I find the serial number (or is that the serial number)?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

when did you buy the heads? They only make 1 set of heads now it looks like for the fords a 2.02 1.6 valve ones. I have holley systemax II heads from 5 years ago they were 1.94 1.6 valves. http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tablehdc.htm#Ford scroll down to windsor then down to holley systemaxthose are the flow numbers for the 1.94 intake valve heads

I bought the car with the heads already on it. I think they are the Systemax heads, not the Systemax II heads.

Stud mount...

They are most likely the new series head, which are very good and respond well to some porting. Biggest I have is the cheap locks they use.

The best way to confirm would be measuring the valves. Holley only makes 2 stud mount heads, 300-573 and a 300-575 they have different size intake valves. You could call Holley Tech, although I find them hit or miss at times. They will need the numbers that are cast on the head inbetween the rockers like you have pictured.
I ran the 300-575 and they are a really nice head, and if I remember correctly it had 12157 on the front. I am trying to find my old pics
