    What can you tell me about these? I did a HAMB search and a googled 'em and got nothing of value.

    I knew that Fenton made Chevy/GMC six speed parts and flathead headers and intakes, but I'd never seen a set of aluminum Fenton flathead heads until I got these from a Model A restorer (he ***ured me that he was NEVER gonna use 'em :rolleyes:).

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a set for the 8ba engine. Fenton made a lot of speed equipment including intakes and even fuel blocks.

    Thanks, Crestliner. Anybody else?

    Are the Fenton heads as good (or better) than Edelbrock or Offy heads?

    I have two sets for the pre-48's. They seem to be a nice quality head, but all I've ever heard is contrary to that. History seems to say that Fenton was the cheap brand in the 50's. But I'll run mine anyway, cause a good looking and good condition flatty head is hard to find no matter what the brand.

    The add says these go for $74.00 a pair new, unpolished. I am a generous soul and will give you the 74 bucks plus shipping, although they are used.:D
    (Just kidding ofcourse) Yes they are genuine, bolt them on and enjoy the great find.
