GOT IT!!!!

Went and picked up the '67 289 today. Paid $50.00 for it. Have the block
sold already. Actually traded it for a fresh AOD tranny. One of the heads
has me concerned though. One of the outside cylinders has lots of corrosion
on the combustion chamber.As if it had a blown head gasket (optimistic)
or a crack (my luck). Whatever it is I hope it can be fixed. The other seven chambers
look great. The heads have "289" stamped on one side and "66" stamped on the other
and the casting number appears to be "7A20." If anyone has any insight on old Ford
heads, could you please give me an idea as to what they came out of? Out of
curiosity mostly...

Thanks, Brian.

P.S. I'd like to thank everyone for there ideas and suggestions over the last few
days. It was greatly appreciated.
