Doxerman51 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I have purchased a 25” Aluminum Head which I believe came out of a Desoto Airflow. The part# on the head is 695798. Can anyone confirm if In fact this head was found on the Desoto Airflow and further, would you happen to know the compression ratio of the head. Thanks for any Info.

dpcdfan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Easy to tell. Airflow heads have the water neck outlet coming out on the driver side of the head, while regular Desoto and Chrysler Airstream six cylinder heads have the water outlet on top.

Should work on all 6 cylinder Chryslers and Desotos from 1937- 1954. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doxerman51 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thank you c49er and dpcdfan. Will have the head checked out and if good, will install it in my WC-12 Military Pick-up powered by an IND-7(236). I have a '41 "Spitfire" head on it now, and though the Aluminum head wouldn't look as nice as the "Spitfire" head, it would save some weight and be a real conversation piece at the shows. Here is photo of the IND-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
