Cast iron high compression head

[rarebike]

I am more a flathead guy but am building a t speedster and just picked up a cast iron model t head that has: Ford high compression in raised letters and the numbers f133d. Is this a factory high compression head? Tim

No there was never a T "HIGH" compression head from the factory. While the early heads had a little higher compression it still was just a bit over 4 to 1. From about 1917 to 27 it was about 3.98 to 1. If you can post a photos, top bottom and side someone might be able to identified it.

Just figured out how to get pictures into a discussion. This is the T high compression head I am talking about.

Fordson Model F Tractor head, '28 or so.

Won't fit on the Ford Model T block.

You might try listing it in the Smoke Stack classifieds;

There might be some interest there and it's free. If you are looking to sell and need an idea on value you could also post a question on one of the tractor forums.
