el_freddo Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Anyone willing to get a cast on the go for a few more? I know a guy out my way that's pouring a cast for his tractor heads. He does tractor pulls and cracks/destroys heads all the time apparently. He can't find replacement heads due to the age of the tractor (probably from the 50's) so he's casting and machining his own! Maybe a set of cast heads might be the way to go... you know, to "counter act" the performance the turbo gives with a bit more weight in the engine!

The heads are already cast, they're not forged or anything fancy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I think Bennie meant cast iron heads Edited August 24, 2018 by ausubaru92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Ford Australia produced a cylinder head for 1971 and 1972 250 ci sixpot in cast iron. Today this head is so popular and sought after in the US for all their six ccylinder mustangs that some one is reproducing them in alloy. The US never had their own design. Argentina did a similar head but Oz version was chosen for the parts availability rocker gear etc Six month wait I believe on orders. Might be worth contacting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
