More Cylinder Head ID questions

[Lowrench]

Hi again. I'd like to see if any of you can identify the cylinder heads on my 352.

One head is # EDC-C 6080. The other is EDC-E 6080.
There is also a letter "C" with an "F" inside of it next to the last sparkplug on each head.

Are these any good/ desireable? or just a standard head?

Thanks. Billy

Well those are some nice heads. They were the first of the FE head castings. All of them have machined chambers and production only lasted the first 90 days. After this Ford revised the castings to eliminate the freeze plugs and enlarge to chambers so they would not have to be hand machined. This was a costly process. The E head is the earlier of the two. And from what I understand the size of the EDC number had to do with the size chambers. Some were 69cc and pretty sure the E heads were 74cc's. They have lowriser size ports and are well sought after heads. The C with the F inside is the Cleveland foundry logo. Let me know the date codes and I can tell you the year/month/date they were cast. Look for a number/letter/number(s) sequence on the head. That's the date code.

Yes I am. Are you in CT as well? Do I have to remove the rocker covers to see the date codes?

The reason I'm asking these questions is this motor is in my 54 ford. I'm trying to sell it (the car)but people don't seem to appreciate the engine & I was thinking of pulling it out & keeping the motor for a galaxie & maybe have it rebuilt although it really dosent need it. It's clean inside (no sludge) & it has 100lbs oil pressure when its cold & runs 60-70 when warmed up. The block is # EDC 6015C. A 302 or something may be better suited for this car.

Yep down I-95 in Fairfield. Yes the date codes are under the valve cover. Nice looking engine. I can't imagine people not liking a 2x4 ontop of a 352. Wow that's a 60 352HP block you have there! Super rare that is. Do the people looking at the car have a pulse? LOL. I'd hang on to that engine.

Thanks for all your help G. My engine actually has a 406 tipower set-up on it,not that it matters. Good info from a local guy. That rocks. What kind of hotrod do you have?? I keep a lookout for ya.

Well I should have noticed the three carbs and gas lines LOL. I have the same setup on a 406 I'm building. No Hot Rod at this time just the engine to tinker on. I had a Cobra I sold last year. Still undecided on another project at this time. I'd like another 67-68 Stang fastback but the prices are to steep. Maybe a 63 Gal or something. G.

Hey Billy, only way I would like that engine more is if it was sitting in MY garage!!! What a primo piece!!!! If potential buyers don't recognize the value of that set up, you are right in putting in a different engine. If they don't want to pay the added value for what the engine is worth, I sure wouldn't give it to them.

yeah its too bad some people are car illiterate.......when they dont realize the value and rarity of the engine combo.....You know because of its limited production, you might want to consider documenting the engine codes, their production years and the rarity of it.....this way when people look at the car you can produce documentaion for the motor, might even bring the value up of the car as well......I'm sure its a sweet looking ride. When I sell hotrods I make sure they dont go to some yahoo who will not appreciate my hard work I put into it.....Kind of preference I have.....
