Hello everyone,

I've looking for a price on my heads and I know they are rare? How rare I am trying to find out. I thought I had a 68 302 in my 65 mustang until yesterday when I discovered my heads were a C9OE. They are a closed chambered head maybe 58CC. They say 302 in the lifter valley and 69 on the side by the intake and exhaust ports. I thought it was all 68 until 68 302 heads combustion chambers don't match. It is clearly an odd ball. It is not a C8OE, especially with the year 69 stamped on it. My heads also say 13 and 14 on them. I'm assuming one was maybe number 13 and the next one was created as 14 in the assembly line.

It is also not made in mexico head.

How many of these heads do you think were made in 69? How valuable or not valuable are they?

I have seen info on them, but very little because I guess most people haven't seen one. I did see a spec list showing they exist, but couldn't give any real specifics of it.
