Bill Wayman Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Can anyone tell me what this cylinder head fits? I would like to get rid of it and don’t want to scrap it if it’s something rare. There’s a small chance it came out a Willys or Jeep. Note the distributor mounts out the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Are you sure that's not where the thermostat goes? Jeeps are like that. Edited May 4, 2021 by JACK M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's noting the opening where the firing order is stamped. The thermostat opening is at the front of the head I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Picture of the gasket surface side would really help when trying to match this to a gasket catalog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Wayman Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 OK here is gasket side. I tried on first post but it would not take 4 photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Wayman Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Darn Close, but some of the holes between the cylinders don't seem to line up. Look at where the distributor drive is. Not sure what the extra dark spots are on your image, are they holes? If this is a F6209 Continental head, how would you suggest I figure out what it fits and what it's worth? Any offers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkf Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) This looks similar to the head used by Kaiser-Frazer and Willys on their 226. It has the same distributor mount and firing order but is missing the Kaiser or Willys script so I'd say it's either for industrial use (Continental built the same engine for many years) or possibly for a Checker since they used the 226 for a while as well.

Bill Wayman Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 I now have confirmation it was a spare head for a Willys FC170, (226) The guy moved and I helped him dispose of many years collection of extra parts. Any idea what it's worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The FC 150,half ton,and the FC 170,three quarter ton Jeeps were those square front cabovers that came out quite a few years ago. I'm not sure they were wildly popular then but I've been seeing wanted ads for them and the parts over the last three or four years. I suggest looking it over very carefully for cracks,maybe have it magnafluxed,and if it looks good put it on ebay for at least $150 plus shipping. Maybe first,look on ebay and see if any others are there and what price they are listed at. Sometimes ebay can ruin it's own market even on somewhat rare items because of the number of the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
