That is something to ponder Ross. I know they made small tweaks to the motors through the 51-54 years. The most evident is the rise in compression ratio year over year, which I have been looking at lately.

This is because at some point in my car's history someone replaced the 1954 327 Head with a 1951 288 head. Which does have me a bit concerned because of the lower compression ratio of the 1951 288 head over the 1954 288 head. But I guess we shall see how she runs when I finally get her started to see if I need to shop for new head or not.
