Apparently today is international women's day in Vietnam. Guess I'll have to buy some flowers or a gift somewhere. But I've also been informed that there is a party at my house at 3:00 p.m. today. Not sure how many people will be there but I'm sure it will go for 5 or 6 hours.

Looks like it may be this....................70's casting, TE for truck engine part
The D2TE-AA (as with most FE heads since the start of 1966) have smaller intake runners (increases fuel/air velocity to improve emissions), lowered exhaust runners (apparently a unibody change - can be a problem with tube header alignment), smaller combustion chambers (more valve shrouding apparently improves fuel atomization), thermactor emissions bosses (often undrilled), and unibody exhaust manifold bosses (generally undrilled).
The D2 heads are 70's casting and have induction hardened seats for unleaded gas. Other than that both castings for the most part are identical. Just watch the exhaust bolt patterns as some are drilled for 8,14 and 16 bolt holes depending on the application and exhaust manifolds. Neither are a performance head but std FE heads used on cars and trucks over the years. The most common of upgrades is to install CJ size valves. A little port work and some chamber polishing will help also. Casting numbers will denote the decade,year,application (car or truck) and production changes. Ex C8AE-6090-H, C = 60's, 8 = 68, A = Ford part, E =engine part. 6090 = production part number for heads, H = 8 levels of changes made to design. Also parts will have a date code. The D2TE-AA heads are 72 heads hence the D2. The TE is truck engine part. 6090 the head part number and AA the level of changes.

Some welding done. Fitted heater box, so i can mock up the defroster duct. Goes where im pointing to. Straight up from the heater box. Need to build a flapper and use the S10 vacuum pot to open it. Or not.
Fins ... for Friday Eve
That's a beauty.
I am having fun watching you on You Tube. I must say, it seems that retrofitting something that has been designed for some other vehicle takes a different skill set than just starting from scratch. I'm glad it's you doing it. Like I mentioned, I am like a bad doctor, no patients.

The attached article said it was seen staring in a restaurant window also
Them O'side peeps gotta keep in mind, Camp Pendleton is one of the largest wild game preserves in Cal.
I think Chris needs one of these.

These are so good. Just the right size and wrapped in bacon. What could be better. Oh, they sell them a few days a month at a local convenience store. 4 for $5. What could be better? I'll post some after photos later.
Chanel? Of course.

We put D0VE heads on my son's 460. 1970 casting small closed chamber larger valve.
You have me stumped on that one
I would take that, have to wait till 15th to see that temp! Frank you make me feel SO lazy, amazing how much work you get done in 1 DAY. TMM I'm down with that steak, no brainer!It's officially Spring here today

It's one of the local seasons, daily 20+ mph winds, March thru May temperature varies. I noticed looking at the NWS weather map long ago that this area is almost the same latitude as the old desert homeland. Spring out there is much the same with a little more velocity and lots more flying real estate

You don't get June Gloom as far North as you are do you?
