ok, so I found these heads in a garage I’m working in. Just wondering if anyone knows what they are. Seem to be closed chamber , ohv, rocker shafts, the exhaust looks like sbc, but intake is squirley. Casting looks like IH18, a quick search of international v8’s show no such intake. Just inquiring
 
Did not IH also have a stacked port head in the school bus/ pick-up V-8's..??
 
The give-away is the vertically stacked intake ports.

That's what caught my eye , no 440 ever had those .
Seems like one of fords "better" ideas ! LOL
My dad had a couple of those in p/ups, a 65 and 283 chevy would run all over them !!
 
Had a 312 in a 57 Fairlane 500, ran like a top. just a weird design. I never had the heads off, didnt know they had that much quench in them. Strange CC shape. 351C transplant turned it into a bruiser.
