The 516’s will be fine for the passenger car that I’m putting it in. I’ll just need to adjust the rockers every 10k or so.

I agree. I’d love to find a set of 300k heads with 1.75 exhausts the same year. It’s pretty wild it’s been waiting 57 years for someone to finally wake it up. I can’t wait for the dyno print out to check out the lift. I’m going to have my imperial V8 completely refurbished as well. Maybe I’ll...

The push rods and lifters are all brand new and OEM. They are from a a 57 year old never started 413 engine. I’ll keep posting pics of the progress. Thanks

All of my windows work (even the wing vents) along with the power door locks, antenna, and six way bench. All the lights work too. Even the ashtray light.

Mine didn’t either until I took on I10 through the desert for 300 miles at 100+ degrees. Nice car. Does your auto pilot work?

These will be fine for the spring pressure that I have. The compressed spring pressure to open the valves will not exceed 234lbs. These are the same pushrods and springs that were use in the New Yorker and imperial in ‘64. 1.020 ID. Correct crankshaft and cam too. Everything is starting to come...

the motor is completely disassembled right now. I’m going to try to get photos as it comes together, and a dyno video. I’ll post the results too.

No problem. I’m just trying to get the low down on this new engine. My imperial runs good too. I sent the carburetor out for a complete overhaul. It leaks some oil from the rear main and front oil pan seal. Not bad though. Maybe 1/4 quart in 2000 miles.

What is the number on those heads? Are they 516’s

This was an inquiry about the date code. I think that 4-214 means it was cast on the 214th day of 1964. The pic was taken for another who asked about the date code. I’ll get some pics of the rockers if I can. They are getting ready to assemble it.

Here are some pics. They are cast rocker pedestals. 4-214 is what i see, plus another cast code.

Is it possible that the 516’s could have factory adjustable? These heads were used on a 426 as well.

They stripped the paint and repainted. The pic earlier in the thread shows what the color was coming out of the crate. A little bit darker than this. They are really giving this a once over. The owner of the shop said he has never had anything like this come through his shop. He brought back his...

The heads have the smaller exhaust ports 1.6”. I thought it was a 518 cast, but it looks like a poorly cast 6.

My 64 Le Baron

6 bolts on the valve covers. I also had a 64 New Yorker. It was turquoise. Not sure about the rocker pedestals. My 64 New Yorker had non adjustable rockers.

I plan on bolting to a 1964 push button torque flight. Shouldn’t be a problem seeing I have a 64 block.

Maxwedgechar, I’ll get some pics of those heads too. They are 516’s with adjustable rockers for sure.
