All Small Six Alternatives to Vintage Inlines Head??

This relates to all small sixes
The C3 is probably a small chamber 170 head, the C7 is probably a regular small log, and I assume the E0 is a large log, I never saw one to know for certain.
 
I hope this is adding to, and not hijacking, this thread.

I found a guy selling 3 different Ford six heads. I can decode them but what I don’t know is log size, valve size, and compression chamber cc’s. Is there a chart somewhere that has all that info so I don’t have to bother you guys every time I find a head for sale? I searched but couldn’t find anything.

For starters, here are the casting numbers of the 3 heads he has:

C3DE-6090-D
C7DE-6090-A
E0BE-6090-BB
I think the EOBE 6090 BB head may be the 'hex' head and have the largest intake manifold volume of all log heads at 1420cc and the larger valves of course. Could possibly have some smog fittings. So it may offer the most possible performance of all log heads due to the manifold volume if more is better. Some have avoided using the hex log in favor of the large flat top log to have a larger base for the mill and fill procedure to direct mount a 2v Autolite 2100 etc. Since we now see the Rochester 2v (and Carter BBD) being mounted right to the stock carb base with with some modifications that many can do on their own, a low cost (and lower performance) alternative to the CI head is available until the CI heads are made again. Early reports indicate good performance results.
Where are these heads located some one here might have an interest?
 
The C3 head is a small-valved 170. The C7 is a 170 too, but with bigger valves. The E0 is a 200/250 head and yes, is a good one to get.

These parts were listed on Craigslist in San Jose, CA, but it was back in September. I just did a quick CL search and don't see them anymore. Not right now, anyway.
 
Yes, I usually like the Handbook head and block number/feature breakdowns better than the tables you see around here. They're a little cluttered from being crammed onto one page, but are fairly comprehensive and correct.
 
logextomy seem more right (but yeah, tother’s fun to say).
I like the charts for all the extra on each coloum (row).
Flat, round, hex, etc I get all mixed up. If attached toa chart it’d help (me remember I bet).
(I cant spell but I say it: log ec ta me. Bot a me reminds me of Butt or bot as in the fly)
Fun w/words~
 
“...don't know how old this post is..."
above shows ‘this Summer"
Thanks Wc, you’ve all ways had good info/questions to share/ask~
More here, yet again.
Unfortanelly this forum & my first Mustang forum I joined are allmost impossible to get on from home now . We have no internet so it's all data usage so I get on both anytime I can pull them up on my phone .
Both are my 2 favorite forums to visit . So when I'm not here for a time it's just no access for me .
Then when i am i can't shut up .
I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
 
@Wayne clark No internet at home - I guess we've reached the point where something that wasn't even invented when I was a kid is practically indispensable now. When I leave the house with my computer, I've had good luck using my phone as an internet hotspot and using the computer to go online. It depends on signal strength, of course. You could try that at home, but of course you're still using phone data.

@chad There was a song in the '80s called "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than to have a frontal lobotomy". It was a regular on the Dr. Demento show.

Ok, sorry for the derail. Back to talking about Ford inline 6 heads...

When I moved here close to 40 years ago I spent no telling how much money trying to get TV reception . Wound up with 3 . First small satellite I seen I told the wife we're buying that. One of the very few thing I miss liveing somewhere where there is not much . But man there is a lot of it .
As for the alum heads . I hope Matt gets his production cranked up . I'm sick of people ruining a perfectley fine Ford whatever by pulling out a 6 to put a v8 in .
