    Found these on a combine at my fathers farm in ND. Combine is a 510 M***ey with a plate that states GM 327. Thoughts on intake/exhaust diameters?

    Didn't get to pull the valve covers off to check casting #'s: It was -15 with a 20mph wind :)

    Probably low compression and 1.72 intake/1.50 exhaust valves.

    Looks to like E/F which makes them "camel hump" fuelie heads, unless I'm missing something. Mitch.

    I never seen a camel hump head where the humps were flat on top. If I was guessin', I'd say 'D'.

    SLOW, probably right I was looking at the slanted leg on the rectangle shape, doesn't really match D either now that I really look.

    How about that; a Corvette powered M***ey-Ferguson combine. RARE 997 heads. Seems to me they were also used on some trucks (???). I am Butch/56sedandelivery/.

    My grandfather had two m***y combines and both had 327's with 461 heads. Both combines were parked and awaiting to be hauled off when s**** steel was high. I took a look to see if the 327's would be good cores. I was surprised when I popped the valve covers and they were 461's.
