I think any 320 CU head 1932 to 1933 will fit right on. 1935 and 36, 320 CU should also fit but the water inlet for the top radiator hose has a bolt on elbow. If I recall the water jacket holes changed in 1938, or 39 in the blocks, therefore the later cylinder heads will not match the cooling holes in the earlier block. I needed a new cylinder head for my 1935 Eight, my aluminum cylinder head was garbage. I was able to find and purchase what appeared to be a universal replacement cylinder head, as it had had all the water cooling holes for all the different block configurations. I recommend a a cast iron head. I think if you try the usual vendors you will be able to find one. David Flack-Flackmaster on this site may have one, John Ulrich Packard Parts, David Moe Packard Seattle, or Kanter.
