Anyone seen heads like these before? What looks like it may be a date stamp says 5-11-51.
They are cast iron and on a Canadian 1934 ford tudor. Any guesses as to what the little arrow means?

Service replacement parts cast (supposably) June 11, 1951. Nothing special about them, In other words, of little value.
 
The arrow indicates the time of the work shift that they were cast. As Mike mentions, candidates for large scale model boat anchors.
 
Thanks for confirming what I thought. I guess the heads do the job as he said he had the motor running (with those wires?)

I find that Ford was making service replacement parts 17 years AFTER the vehicles date is quite surprising.

I would be surprised if FORD produced THAT head. Too many details just don't look like a "FORD" casting. Maybe someone like "Western Auto" or some such aftermarket outfit.

Agreed. I see what looks to be a parting line in the casting right at the spark plug holes. Don't recall seeing that before, but never looked.
