Hot Rods nicest looking 49-51 heads

building up a 51 Merc flathead and love the motor city and Harrell heads but water outlet in the wrong place.
I don't want to use offenhauser or edelbrock for this motor so would like to know the jurys opinion on which are the nicest looking off the shelf heads for a 49-51 flattie please
Thanks
Neil

 

I'm ***uming you know you can put the early centre water neck heads onto 8BA (49-53) motors?

As for what 8BA heads are the nicest? thats a personal taste thing. I like the WEIAND ones. but then the FENTON's are nice to and EDMUNDS... but they are all not reproduced.

 

To add to what Flatoz said above you may want to check this instruction sheet for the head swap.

Thanks for that. I know the earlier heads can be used but (in my own opinion) don't look right in a full bodied car (51 Merc)
Thanks
