What is this head?

Post by pdq67 »

Is it a Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Cad., Packard or what?

Or is it a Lamar Walden, "non-scalloped valve cover", 409", "W" engine aluminum head?

But I can't imagine a "W" engine head not having a scalloped valve cover???

I haven't a clue what it is, but it sure is PRETTY!!

Yup - judging by the other pictures, it's a poncho. One hell of a Pontiac too.
"Quality" is like buying oats. You can pay a fair price for it and get some good quality oats,
or you can get it a hell of a lot cheaper, when it's already been through the horse.

Looks like the latest version of the CV1 , and yes for a Pontiac.

Did ya look at the rest of the pics? You know the giant Pontiac symbol on the intake and the word "Pontiac" on the valve covers?

EDIT : Did you edit the link above?

Mickey designed his hemi heads to work on all the common 4 bolt blocks
I know they were drilled for FE and Pontiac, any others (Cad, Olds) Bore spacing on the Packard would have been too great but the others are pretty close
I wonder if these heads were so designed?
