    Hi, I've got two pairs of heads, one set say Total Flow, got in touch with them and they said they were Dart ? The other pair look similar to the Total Flow/Dart but have bigger valves (2.4" and 2") bigger inlet ports and a ridge running from the ex valve guide that tapers to the edge of the ex port,
    I've been told they may be early Brad fuel heads (apparently made by Dart)
    Both sets are billet twin plugs, Any ideas Guys ?
    Thanks again
    Wayne

    Most of the early Dart stuff had a number stamped on the exaust flange.

    The first 2 numbers are the year they were made.

    Example: 96203 would be made in 1996.

    Pics would help!

    Right lets see if this works
    The Dart/total flow heads are early Dart twin plug forged fuel heads prepped by Total Flow, the others are in the pics below, both sets have numbers on the header face, i'll make a note of them tomorrow

    Early, mid 90's, measure the total width of all 4 intake ports. If it is aprox. 16 1/4 wide, they take the early BAE style manifold with the intake o-rings machined in the manifold. The one closest in the pic only has 3 bolts in the intake flange, the one in the rear has 5. they could take 2 different manifolds. Call me if you need more info.

    The rear head in the pic (5 bolts) is one of the Dart heads prepped by Total Flow, It's the nearer head i'm trying to identify, I've tried my KB manifold on those heads and apart from the missing bolts holes they match up well, even the port match is good, I'll try measuring the port holes later,
    Thanks for your help !

    Right the Dart/Total flow heads are 1986 and the ports are about 16 1/4" from one end to the other, The other heads are 1996 and the port length is 16 5/8" the inlet valves are 2.4" and the exhaust valves are 2"
    I was looking through a book on the 426 hemi's and it looks like my rockers are Dick Landy rockers , they've got the spiral 'd' thing , Never new what make they were before :D
