    If the motor has D2VE heads, please remove them and use a bandsaw to cut them into slices like a loaf of bread so that nobody else will ever be tempted to use them. They are the WORST heads ever cast by anyone. Ford only made them for one year. They were replaced with D3VE's, a fairly good, large chamber head.
