No aluminum heads.

There's 10 L72 cars in the db in that VIN range. If you send me the complete VIN, I'll see if I know anything about the car. Also, can I get a picture of the engine pad?

Thanks!

What would be the correct build dates for original heads (3919840), intake and carb if the block is January 27 of 69 and the pad is stamped 3-18? Would the others be around the same casting date as the block?

Also what seems to be realy cool is the aluminum heads look like they were put on the motor right away. The casting dates on them look like 8.10.68 but they are hard to read. Also the head bolt are correct.

We've talked to the early owners of our car, and had people that remember the car new back in the day, tell us that it came with aluminum heads...we've always assumed they were dealer installed, but being a Francis car, it makes one wonder...

Wish we could prove they were factory installed...I could use another 75 lbs off the nose!
