RARE Federal Mogul Bronze 21 stud Flathead heads
When was the last time you found a pair of absolutely mint Federal Mogul Thermal-Flow cylinder heads? They are the most unusual and one of the rarest cylinder heads ever made for the Ford flathead V8 motor. These heads are made of solid bronze-copper alloy and have no internal water jackets. Engine coolant exits the block out of the three larger holes located at the top of each head (one in the middle and one at either end) and is directed back to the radiator through external water manifolds which are included in this sale. Federal Mogul theorized that the bronze-copper alloy would permit maximum combustion temperature (power) and still dissipate sufficient heat to prohibit overheating of the motor. After WWII, Bob McGee used this same type of Federal Mogul heads on his now legendary flathead-powered 1932 Ford roadster, which today resides in the Bruce Meyer collection.
These heads were originally manufactured for the 1937 and early 1938 21-stud motor, but they will also work on a 1932 to 1936 Ford 21-stud motor. The heads themselves show no evidence of ever having been bolted onto a block and are in excellent condition. The two external water manifolds do show some minor water corrosion, but will be totally hidden by the rubber radiator hoses that attach to them. Historically, these unique cylinder heads represent a rare but significant aftermarket accessory for the Ford flathead V8; and they are an outstanding addition to any Ford flathead speed equipment collection. These are formerly from the Don Orosco collection. Contact French Lake auto parts at 320-274-8497. Ask for Ryan
