1960 283 Heads w/Accesory mount holes

[Justin B.]

My friend found a very original 1960 Chris Craft boat (true barn find) with it's original 283 with a properly dated 519 block, 829 four barrel intake, and a WCFB carb. The heads had the holes for mounting accessories which the boat engines needed. Did any passenger vehicles with 283's have 283 heads with the accessory mounting holes?

I think 58 passenger cars, with air ride suspension, had them for mounting the compressor. Bob

The 58-59 pass cars with the air ride suspension (discontinued in 59) had them for air pump mounting. Also, some BIG trucks with accessories such as air compressors for the air brakes had heads with holes.
