Quick question.
I know the V8 heads inside out.
But what exactly changed when the 173/202 head went from casting numbers 2811929 (H) and 2811930 (L) to 9937262 (H) and whatever the 2850cc head was? These are the HX-HZ, late LX and UC plus VB heads.
I remember vaguely it was just an extra threaded hole for the head temperature sensor maybe? The rest was identical to the HQ-HJ castings? |

I think that was about it. The extra lug cast near No.1 & 2 cyls for the extra temp sensor.

Thanks Terry. I was at a place yesterday with a dozen or so red heads, and know someone looking for a 929 head. I'd told him the pollution 2850 head will do exactly the same job but just wanted to confirm. |

I remember one of the old engine reconditioning companies used to supply 'exchange' heads for HX/HZ 6-cyl engines by just welding a nut to the head to take the extra temp sensor.
