John , how close to the cast Iron head is the appearance of your nice alloy one, like if I painted them ?? cost and waiting time plus porting.

I myself think you could fool many into thinking they were original.

Paint them with a high metal content paint so they can pass the "magnet test". You will have everyone fooled then. Chuck

Only a very critical eye could discern the aluminum heads from the iron versions once they are painted. Even the Ford ECZ-G part numbers are under the intake water ports for those that want to verify the part number.

So they'd be legal for PURE Stock?!!!

Sure they would Frank! As long as you can get them past the magnet test. I doubt if many of the inspectors know about the Mummert heads so I think you could get buy for a while. Another 50HP would be real interesting on your 57. Chuck

Bob Dylan had a line in a song on the Traveling Wilburys album " anything is legal if you don't get caught"

End of the Line could be our theme song - When Tom Petty sings - "Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive - at the end of the line". If its a 50's Ford Not. Maybe so if its a scrub.

Would painting aluminum heads reduce their heat dissipating capabilities?

Paul, Yeah but it'd still be better than iron. And remember they're water cooled anyhow.
