  I have aluminum heads and intake that appear to be original Ford with Ford printed on the heads with the water outlet in the front. Did Ford use these on some engines. Thanks Bob

  Some fords in about 33-34 had aluminum heads these would be 21 stud but none in 49-53 that I know of.

  I have 49 F1 with an engine equipped with "alloy" ie aluminum heads made in Canada so they were available for 49-53 trucks at least

  The Mercurys built in Canada came with aluminum heads, Fords had cast iron.

Cheers, Scott.
