I've put this table together based on a bunch of different sources in order to help my challenged memory keep track of all these variations. Q1. Is this chart format helpful to anyone else out there? Q2. What errors does the chart currently have? Q3. Any significant omissions?

You may want to add a note that all head combustion chambers are appx 54cc ( usually bigger) Looks good, nice handy referance! DD

This goes beyond the head and the block, but you might want to include other sections for electronic ignition, alternator sizes, and maybe even super six options. Bob D BBobbias@aol.com

Probably could add 4027598/4027600 which is a 225 head for 1975-1976 that's cast without the smog pump hole in the back, otherwise it's the same casting as the "447" head. Like the chart, it's very useful. awesome coalation of data. thanks, -D.Idiot res0aus2@verizon.net

This is great! Can Doc or Chuck add to the articles section? This needs to be somewhat visible as it contains some very hard to find information. thanks mark mldingba@rockwellcollins.com

Great work Al, I will send you some comments / fine tuning info. Everyone, Please give input, especially if you know years offered and P/N (= "book" numbers)or better yet, casting / forging numbers found on the parts. Get out and look at parts you have on hand and see if the number on the part matches Al's chart. Al is doing us a great service by "spearheading" this effort so please help out if you can.

Quote: : Great work Al, I agree. A few things I would add/subtract: 1) "Aluminum 170" block? Not outside the engineering test labs! This didn't make it into series production. 2) Aluminum intake manifold, 1B, 1947164, for 1960 production 3) Camshafts? DS danredbear@yahoo.ca

My block doesn't have a casting number. It's a forged crank but it has the tapered water pump support and solid lifters. I don't know where it came from. Block Close Up MAndreas@aol.com

Posting it in the articles section would be great also. I wasn't able to print it though ? I'm always able to print the pictures in the posts, but I could not get this to print.

I can't see the chart, broken link? I have a 1960 head, it has no alternator bracket hole under stat housing, just for reference. My early block had a casting number that was very hard to find also. Crankshaft balancing: is it even needed in straight 6 cylinder app? I have read 4 cyls are set balancing as long as reciprocating weights are kept equal but they only have 1 plane cranks compared to a slants 3 plane. Pretty expensive for a budget build ~ $125 minus heavy tungsten metal slugs.
