Hot Rods Weiand cheater heads?

This guy is advertising these as weiand cheaters anyway to tell if they really are?

 

Yeah the only thing I can clearly make out is that is says CANADA

 

What would you guys pay for them? The seller says there are no stripped threads.

 

Ford made aluminum heads in Canada with a Canada mark. Sorry I can't see Weiamd mark. You may want to check on the Ford barn.

 

its on the back side of the water neck it says weiand

 

Also says 375...not sure if these are for different compression ratio's.

 

Yep. See it now. Thanks!

 

What do you guys think? What are they worth to you? What does that 375 mean exactly?

 

Looks like one spark plug hole has been made bigger or am I seeing some thing that is not there.

 

I was going to mention that they may just be Canadian heads. Which are prized heads by the real flathead guys. Two heads that would be high on my list if I was building a flatty are the Canadian aluminum heads and the American Rocky Mountain heads.

OK just read though the thread, they actually say Weiand on them? Stamped or cast?

 

I believe Offenhauser uses a numbering system 400, 425 etc with the lower number being higher compression. Not sure about Weiand?

 

If you check out the second picture you can see it says weiland.

 

"375" (or any stamped number) is the maximum valve lift without machining for additional valve clearance.

 

You are correct one hole is bigger he said for an oil fouler...I guess I should stay away from these heads eh?!

 

Don't pay much for them and add a heli coil or steel insert in the big hole.

 

the 375 is the clearance measured in the pocket above the valve. probably could get away with an isky max 1. but, don't the pockets in these heads look like they've been cut deeper?

 

Thanks for the help guys!! I am staying away from these. I'm keeping my eyes open for vintage flathead parts for my 1946 block.

 

Since you don't want them, tell us what he was asking for them.

 

600.00

 

Makes my butt hurt just to think about it. They are used heads with no moving parts.

 

Yeah, overpriced. Specially since they've been milled a couple times and have a buggered sparkplug hole.

 

Kinda hard to see in these photos, but it does't look like it says Weiand to me. I can clearly make out the "and" but the first part doesn't really look like "Wei" to me.
