I guess only pictures help, Matt.
I've gone thru google, and the C3OE 6049 head below is legitimate!

Below (very bottom) is a C3OE head in blue paint below, showing the missmatch.
...Yellow valve cover, black block isn't listed, and the blue paint hue and color is legitimate.
CP is a common later boss casting, so are drain holes in the log flange
As you'll know from
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/thre ... ion.91832/
re quoted from Ford Six anyway
1960 only available with 144. 1961-1964 available with 144 or 170.
Color of valve cover and air breather:
144-Ford medium Blue
170-Red/Orange
200-Red/Orange (after June 1, 1965 production date entire engine Ford Medium Blue)
" 1.the earlier 144/170 types from C1- C3 with 1.3" holes (660 cc intake runner)
2. the air injection 1966 head casting with 1.3" hole (got a photo!)
3. the first of the integrated emissions heads in 1969 (860 cc ) Flat top
4. the first of the big hole 250 heads in 1970 (which were not inserted) but had 1.5" holes ,
5. then a mix of large runner 74 (inserted seats)
6. the better bigger exhast 3.3/4.1 heads (seats which were inserted)
7. and the revision in late 82, which had a different shape, and a huge intake runner volume)."
Item 7 wrong, 1980 model year had the casting shape change
The 144 head at 660 cc's intake volume, its going to look a lot like the blue painted head below.
1.
Offenhauser triple carb manifold #5017 (Officially discontinued)
On C0 OE 6090 head, no capacity
See the water heating conduit or the aluminum casting runner tract, the reduced height through bolt bosses, and no Offenhauser.
Lots of differences.
Regards the 5205,
2. Its not gonna fit the 144 head...https://fordsix.com//viewtopic.php?t=26778

Anyone got close-up pictures on how they solved the throttle linkage, fuel linkage etc on these babies.
The Summit catalog description says it comes with the linkage parts.

will this work on the 144? just curious.
Nope. 170, 200 , and 250 only.
3. 5205, it sometimes won't work with the C3 OE heads without work...
I found a C3 OE 6090-D Cleveland Plant foundary head....Member
61Falke's tried putting an Offy 5205 on it.
It was suggested it might be a C3 OE 6090 D "144" head; I'm sure it is.
Offenhauser triple carb manifold #5205 did not fit it, but it was close. You do get problems like this.
Regards the 5970 Offy, Summit screwed up the listing Applications....

Application list wrong, says its Small bolt spacing C0 OE "170" head before the large C9 flat top revision, but clearly the later DE "170" log design.
This is for 1974 or earlier carb stud spacings
Offenhauser triple carb manifold #5205 Large bolt spacing post C9 Flat top log , Large bolt spacing D8 dog turd on wards

Application list right, Ford: 1960-69 170-200 Falcon 6 Triple Manifold (5205), but wrong for any year 144 head. Clearly for Small bolt spacing C0 OE 6090 144 head before the large C1DE 6090 "170" cubic inch revision
And your 144 head to 5205 Offy missmatch... care of the HAMBERS at jalopyjournal...some of whom walk umungst us...
