    I am in need of a 262 head with the D121 tag,if it is not cracked and if you want to sell it. Rudy
  • I am just interested in what the numbers mean, not ready to sell.

    You can't tell from the head, as they are all interchangeable. It is very common to find a 262 head on a 308. The 308 has a ridge cast into the crankcase near the oil pan.

    If the head says 308 on it, it's a Hornet head of 1952 or later. Trouble with numbers on the head is they're often the suppliers part number, or the number Hudson told them to put on it, and they typically don't match up with the Hudson part number listings.
