    As far as C7ZE heads, I believe there were very few castings of them. I am not so sure there are any March or April 67 castings. I have only seen an early to mid Dec 66 ,6M22, 7B3, another Feb 67 date that I can't remember and 7E8 and 7E11. They must have made a lot of the December dated ones as I have seen them on relatively later production 67 K codes i.e. 67 Shelby's with serial #'s up to the low 2000's. There are also a lot of 7E11's floating around. Too bad they are too late for a lot of cars. The latest dates I have seen for a set of C7ZE heads are 7E11. I just sold a set actually. I think any later castings would become C8ZE heads as I have seen those with dates not too far after the 7E11's.Not sure if this helps, but I have had a few of these heads in the past and currently have some for my Shelby (not extra). They are very hard to find.

    My car was "actually built" on May 4, 1967. I have a block dated April 18th (7D18), and C7ZE non-thermactor heads (with the extra material but no holes) both dated February 3rd (7B3).


    I was thinking that these heads were cast too early for my car's build date (based on advice from another thread on this ekschange board), but maybe I'm ok.


    What do you think?


    Thanks

    I think you are in the clear. I believe they are probably your original heads. I know a car in the 1600's (Shelby#) with December heads and a car in the 2200's (Shelby#) with December heads. I have not seen any casting dates other than the ones I listed in my above post.

  • WANTED 1967 K code engine

    You would be very lucky to find a complete 67 K code engine. If you did, it would cost you an arm and a leg. The best route is to slowly collect the parts you need. 67 specific Hipo parts are very hard to find and have become very expensive in the last couple of years. Believe me, I know, as I had to piece one together myself.

  • Lack of integrity

    I think most people are good and honorable, however there are a choice few that only look out for themselves. I think the underlying factor is greed $$$. When I bought my Shelby over 6 years ago, the buyer was offered more money before I was able to see it. He could have taken the extra money, but waited for me to see the car as he knew I had a flight arranged. I ended up with the car for less than what the other guy offered. I think to him it was less about money and more about having the car go to the right person. I think most people will do the right thing. Everyone I have dealt with on this forum has been great. I think this forum is a rare group of good people.
