Looking to buy a set (pair) of 455 heads with casting # 1231786, and a build date code of either A or B (January or February). Any build date within these two months (A or B) will work. Would prefer completely assembled heads with lifters and valves, etc. but would also consider bare heads with these castings. Hot tanked and magnafluxed would be even better! Thanks in advance for checking
Maybe. This core engine has a late 69 date code on its' intake. Can certainly have the heads checked at a local shop, but would have to pass those costs along. Dave S. Dona Ana NM 88032
I think I have a couples of sets of heads. A or B. Does it matter Stage 1 or Standard 455 valves? Thanks
Ok great! Please let me know what you guys come up with. Stage 1 or Standard valves do not matter, just looking for the correct date code. Thanks
sorry, the core engine has head casting #1237661, probably a lower compression version. Engine did likely come from large type of vehicle, it had large car (BCE) bracketry on it when first discovered it in local yard
Thanks newmexguy for getting back to me and letting me know what you have! Haven't heard anything from Jtroop or Hugger. Sent both of you a PM. Please let me know what you guys have or at least what you found! Still looking if anyone else has any of these! Thanks
I assume these are June 15th? Probably not what you are looking for but I thought I would post anyway. Cliff
Thanks for posting this cjeboyle. Yes you are correct. These are June 15 heads based on the F 15 casting numbers.
Thanks everyone else for letting me know where you are with looking and taking the time to look through your stashes. Happy Easter/Passover.
Thank you for this information. There is a faint "J 9" on the intake, on this core engine, which thought corresponded to a late 1969 production/1970 date.
