    Your engine is a 1937/38 with water pumps in the block. I don't know that I have seen any aftermarket 21-stud heads in that style. Ford did make an aluminum head for that engine. They look pretty neat...

    Do you have any do***entation on the history of the car? Or did someone just make up a neat story about England and the war because they had a RHD ch***is from Argentina...I guess I am just skeptical about undo***ented "Ebay Folklore". I hope I am wrong... :)

    They did make a few aftermarket heads for the '37/38 21-stud engines. I have a set of Cyclones that will be going on a 21-stud in the next '32 ch***is build. I've only seen one other set of these. They've been making the swap meet rounds here in the midwest for the last couple of years - priced like they were cast of gold!! NOS '37/38 factory aluminum heads are available with some looking and decently priced. A friend is running a set of these on his AV8 that I sold him a couple years ago.

    Must be from the UK. Not a whole lot of other places that drive in the wrong side in Europe.
    Must be really old too because there's a picture of Moses' tablets with the 8 commandments on the heads...
    Awesome car!!!

    Nice car! Stick a dummy on the left side and really confuse them at stop lights. :eek:
