Single New Old Stock cylinder head. Casting number C8AE-6090-J. Very rare in any condition.
The W code Cougar 427 GTE used these heads on a side oiler rotating assembly with a hydraulic cam and Medium Riser aluminum intake - the so called "PI" C7AE version. 427 cylinder heads that have the J's have provision for 14 bolt exhaust manifolds. Low Riser 427 heads use 2.09" / 1.66" valves. Included is a set of machined used valves (16 total)
The C8AE-6090-J heads were also used on the prototype 50 Mustang fastbacks used at the 1968 Winter Nationals - the so - called "135 series" 428CJ cars. The C8AE-Js were replaced in early calendar 1968 by the more common C80E-6090-N heads on production 428CJs and later Cougar 427 GT-Es with the W code 427. The change appears to have been in January 1968, the earliest C80E-N heads are January 68 castings while the latest C8AE-J heads are December 1967 castings.
Dated . The actual casting date is inside the valley, which when installed is under the valve cover. Bare heads as shown, with used valves.
