I have a friend who has a 312 in a rusty `56 Merc, may want to do some trading on some 351C 4V stuff I have. Supposedly, the 312 runs, has an MSD distrib, some other goodies. My question is, how good are the heads on a `56 312, and are they comparable to a pair of ECZ-G heads? If not, are they worth anything trade-wise? Further specifics such as valve sizes etc would be appreciated. I have been going back and forth trying to decide what I want to do with my Ford, and it is down to a 390 FE and a 312 Y. Any pointers on this I would appreciate greatly. I just got the rear end of my Ford put back the way it was before I minitubbed it, lots of welding, replacing, etc., and am seriously considering the Y. Help me along with my decision, gents....
