We had those heads on one of our Holman Moody 427’s in the late 60’s.

For those who have not, click on the picture/page with 4 pictures on it and read the last sentence. Evidently Ford (and) Pontiac (both) built a very similar cylinder head. Mark H. :-k

For Ford?
Are you asking if Ford had RAV Pontiac heads? What are you asking? Why would someone modify Pontiac Ram Air 5 heads 'for Ford'? You've lost me with this one lol. What made you ask that? I don't understand the line of thinking to ask 'For Ford?' about Pontiac heads.
My post would likely have been more easily understood using an emoticon////saracasm////it was in reference to a pic by the op of ford heads with carnut then immediately referencing semi-off topic Pontiac heads.

It would be off topic if the design wasn't so similar. Pushrod tubes in the center of the intake port.
