Hello everyone, I'm from southern Indiana, and recently found this forum while searching for Morton & Brett heads & engines. My only old vehicle is a 1926 Graham Brothers/Dodge fire engine. It has a Prospect (Ohio) Fire Equipment Co. fire truck body, two chemical tanks, and a Deluge rotary pump. The truck's engine had been replaced with a 1970s four banger before I got it. It did come with the old engine and transmission. I don't know anything about their condition. The engine has a cast overhead valve cover that says Morton & Brett, Indianapolis. I have read that they made heads for a lot of engine manufacturers and even made Indy cars & engines. Also that they made a conversion head for Dodge Bros. engines.
Welcome, I saw your name and had to check it out. They also made a conversion for the Ford bangers. You should check out the monthly "Banger Thread"
Morton & Brett made a lot of stuff for T's, speedster bodies, underslung parts, etc., and an OHV conversion for the T block. When the A came out they modified their OHV patterns to fit the A block. When you look at the bottom of the head you can see where they changed the large water passage at the rear of the head. The head had an intake passage on the right side and an "internal rams horn" (internal manifold) that actually entered the cylinders from the left side. Later heads had that same passage plus 2 inlet ports on the left side. They were the first OHV conversions for the A on the market.

Here is your earlier thread on this cylinder head: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/20s-dodge-ohv-conversion-info-wanted.75341/#post-4925427 What engine is in the fire truck? What identifies it as from the 1970's with this ancient aftermarket cylinder head?
