No. The '66 and some '67s were cast iron heads with SAE studs/threads. I 
believe some of the later '67 had non-smog aluminum heads with SAE 
studs/threads as well. After that the heads went aluminum and metric 
threads/studs.

You can fit any of the 1600 heads on any of the blocks. I believe most of 
the 1500 heads (cast iron) will also fit, as well as H20 heads. Tho if you 
are going to use an H20 head, make sure it is not a forklift head!
Also don't forget if you use a later head, you will be using a metric head 
with an SAE block, and don't mix up the bolts/nuts!

3 main SAE block with a Metric head!
