    ive never sceen a pair of heads like these and not sure if they are even for a ford, they have a very small water capacity and a guess was that they could have been marine use. one does have a name but part of it you can read. looks like it might start with the letter B and the last four letters are "LITE" and i dont think its autolite. one does have a US patten number 21010.782 . the water necks are large bolt on style like a 49-53 but bigger but they are in the center of the head like a 59AB .very shallow combustion cambers .any information on these anyone??

    Cord... I bought a pair for $40.00 at Back to the Fifties for a 59A... they don't fit! Resold 'em for $125.00 at another swap two months later.... still didn't know what they fit until the guy I sold 'em two came back an hour later with a shit eattin' grin on his face... He just resold 'em for $250.00 to a Cord collector!

    We ALL made $$$....

    I think "Lite" will be Bohn, Bohnalite pistons, made aluminum bits for Ford and pistons... could you recheck the patent number??? Can't get it to work, with or without the period.
