The 2.0L was upgraded in the hands of legendary racer A.K. miller and received a turbocharger along with water injection and host of other upgrades. This put the engine at the 175hp mark an allowed it to hit 60mph in 7.5 seconds. The last bit of upgrades went to the interior which received a custom dashboard with new gauges along with a set of Recaro seats.
At first glance, Ford light-duty six heads all look the same. This is a '60 144ci cylinder-head casting-a C0OE. Casting numbers and dates are important for identification. The earlier heads have smaller valves and chambers. Valve and chamber size increased with increasing displacement.

And at some point (63?) they started using hydraulic lifters, so I don't know if that affected the head. Hope that helps, Chris

Here is the problem. 1960 = C0bubba22349":25t0lbaq said:The D Suffix (at the end of the head number 6090) of the casting / design number means that the head is the forth (4th) redesign of the orginal design. Good luck

Now I have to process it all and figure out how to retain it. Thanks for all the research!

Why do the heads show DE in 1960 when there was no 170 engine?
The revison code D is intersting, as I've seen no A, B or C revision
Yeah, Like me, all people do is look for the D, then stop looking. DE is the code for the 170 head, C1DE 6090-D

Lots more questions.
The May 1960 article lookes like the head is C0 DE 6090 no revision, fhen a leter and 2 code with the early 144 carb flange with the wierd as heck two tangs on it.
All evidence I've seen is the 144's are Cx OE 6090 some suffix.
170 head's didn't come out till 1961, but Ford must have been working on them before the June fit up for the October 1960 "1961" model year.
And OE is later in numerical sequence than DE...... :rolflmao:
