That may be aluminum, but the combustion chamber looks just like stock to me. I would say it is a stock head made by an aftermarket company.
Also, it is good to know you made it back home ok. Glad to see you posting here.
J.C.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command! -

Looks like for the small bore english engine. The AF engine block is on top, you can see the smaller cylinders compared to the standard block on the bottom.

That is a replacement head for a small bore English Model AF engine.Originally posted by gegebanger View Post
I do not believe it is original Ford because it is aluminum instead of iron.
Also it has smaller 18mm or 14mm spark plugs, whereas the original Ford AF head used 7/8-18 inch spark plugs.Comment

Ok, in the tear down of the current customers engine that I started today I have found some interesting tags. Mainly a tag stating "Original engine out of '30. Rowe Block" or "Roe Block".
It has a nicely counter balanced crank(Bolt on & welded), B cam and since I don't yet have the head off, from the bottom looks like some nice aluminum pistons. Pictures to follow.......07-23-2019, 10:17 AM -
The engine I got has some serious pitting on the top of the block. I would like to know just how much surface I can remove to get rid of that pitting?
I am thinking most of you will say just find another block or engine, and I might do that depending on what my surfacer says it will cost me. We will see.02-27-2018, 06:48 PM -
I was getting a good amount of seepage around the head so I pulled it yesterday to replace the gasket. Before putting the head back on, I wanted to check with the group. Do you see anything of concern? Aside from a little bit of clean up, should I be doing anything else? Compression readings were 44, 50, 47, 49.
Thanks,

Hi guys, it has been a while that I have been on this board.
Can't remember what I supposed to install to save the aluminum head from decomposing.
I think I asked this question before, but have forgotten just what I did. Is there something you can add to the antifreeze to do this?03-23-2019, 07:09 PM -
I am looking for a drawing of the stud locations vs the center line of the cylinder bores. I have a Winfield 7:1 crow's foot head that I need to have flycut to clear the pistons that stick up .062" above the block. I have been using a standard gasket, a solid copper gasket and then another standard gasket. That is not really working well at this time. It left me with a crack between the water...08-08-2018, 11:26 AM -
Putting a rebuilt engine together.
This head is standard, but must have been aftermarket.
Note the different castings....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Need to know what plug to use on Winfield 7:1 Model A head, anyone out here have a clue?05-04-2019, 04:45 PM

Ok I am looking for a consensus about this. When I built this engine years ago I installed grade 8 head studs as I added the 5.5 head. Now, I am assuming they are still good as I only have about 10-15k on the engine. But what did Ford use originally with the high comp heads grade 5 or 8?

I have just returned from the Model A New England Meet at Lake George, N.Y.
My problem was climbing some of those hills out there. I climbed several in 2nd although only doing 20-23 M.P.H. at high R.P.M. (no tack but I could tell).
I climbed one at only 18 M.P.H. because I couldn't get the transmission in 2nd.
I haven't checked my differential ration yet, but other than...09-26-2018, 08:50 PM
