Bill, Thanks, first good photo I've seen. can you tell us anything about the history of these, and how well they worked? I know that's a loaded question!

Frank, i dont know any history of these, how many made etc, i guess how well they worked compared to what? is not answerable, it is well made and guess modern technology may make  improvements, but you may  agree there was nothing else at the time so feel it works ok. As you say frank, I cant really add much more.

Wow, that image of Moffat's Mustang with the left front tire off the ground and the Holden behind is exactly how I remember it.

Crager was pretty good in the day. With the opening for the blower there is not much left in the way of runners. Once pressurized I don't think if would matter much how they flowed. It looks like the ports wer larger too. I'm not sure a "modern" design could improve much. I'm currently working a deal to get at least one of these but its going slowly. Wish me luck! Chuck

Frank, These are a few pictures I've run accross. Some of them have no provision for the water neck and may be Studebaker or Cadillac. Chuck

Chuck, Thanks. They didn't even have a divider between the ports! I'd heard before of 50's "porting Experts" carving out the dividing wall in the heads between the ports. Doubt if it works,but..........I've been wrong before!! 

  Bill: those Fenton (?) Valve covers are Bitchin', You really have some neat stuff.
