I believe the G309 says it was cast on July 30, '49 (or '59??). July is the G'th month. Someone else can chime in the on casting number.

What is it off of? How many bolt holes does it have. They changed from 15 to 18 bolts someplace in the 216/235/261 series.

I cannot find a head casting number for that head on any of the lists and I have all the lists. The first three numbers indicate a series of several heads, but the last four numbers are not listed.
:confused:
Possibly you are misreading the number or it could be a replacement head that was not manufactured as part of any engines built on the assembly line, but as a replacement for heads that cracked or warped or had other problems.
