Default A long shot. Ford V8 heads...

Hi folks!

I am not a carrier guy. I would have no clue how difficult V8 Ford carrier heads are to find. 3 years ago, I was called by a guy who offered me Jeep heads. They turned out to be Ford V8 heads...not in the best of conditions. The background story is, that we had many Flak positions in WWII in our area. The supply depot still exists and was used by the post war German army and is now used by many truck and vehicle restoration guys. They found several dozen of these heads on the premisis. What remains unclear is, if they originate from a time the Wehrmacht used the depot for storage and maintenance of captured vehicles (which they did) or from the time the post war Bundeswehr used the Universal Carriers and kept some there.

They were not in pretty shape. But if it is worthwhile, I could ask if they are still there.

What do you think?
