Exelent pictures and info! thanks for sharing!

Those heads was designed for some race engines back on 70´s. An actual governor(or governator? oh, that´s Arnold! ) Of an Argentina province and a Former Formula One racer, Carlos Reutemman, has some races with a car with these heads.

An Argie mechanic/designer/racer called Heriberto Pronello has a set of that heads. I will try to obtain some info about that heads and that person.

the builder, "tandil" something, now Ronicevi or tandilbert don´t want to build it again. even if a big quantity.

Thanks Ted and Davis for photo tips, if this works it will show some of the weslake head features, 14mm slanted plugs, beautifull ports. Notice how the rocker shafts are supported by end caps that bolt in from end of head. . Regards aussie bill.

Shaft rockers with a solid lift cam but a different firing order.  Intake is definitely different.  Here’s a pic that Anibal posted on the site awhile back showing the intake on the Argentine heads.

so the iron heads use shaft rockers with a hydraulic lifter cam?

and a different intake?

This ain't no L-Kamino!

Not the Weslake heads but here are some pics of the Argentina heads that were originally submitted by Henry Floored.

Picture posting instructions  

I’ll add that pictures straight from a digital camera are typically too large to upload directly to the site without first downsizing them.  This site barely tolerates 600X600 pixel sizing when using a host site and while 500X500 is this sites upload maximum, smaller than this for any picture is preferred from both upload and viewing speed standpoints.

i posted the pics in my photobucket album. (or some other photo hosting site)

drag the image to the "reply" box where we normally insert text.

sometimes you have to add "" at the end of it. but don't include the "".



if i remove the image from my photos page, the link is broken and you all see a small broken box in a corner.



i had seen pics of that engine from the museum engine site couple years ago and now i know more about it. wow, rare is right.

that sure would steal the show at the EMC whether it made high numbers or not.

This ain't no L-Kamino!

Davis, yes that is the Weslake race engine on display at speedway motors in nebraska, would kill for that great sump! I will turn head over and send pic of combustion chambers, they are small!  they are cast so nicely and all the port runners are so smooth.  One of the old time racers brought all the left over race parts from that 57 programme and eventually it was sold off in pieces, my buddy got  2 of the cast iron version of these alloy heads, intakes,cams,pumps etc but lots stiill missing to make an engine run, sure is impressive.

How did you include actual photo in description instead of as an attachment?

Best regards Aussiebill..

found this link regarding these heads.

http://www.customclassictrucks.com/hotnews/0811cct_weslake_ford_y_block_engine/index.html



these would definitely outflow the standard Y heads!









This ain't no L-Kamino!

aussie,

those intake ports look killer!

i'm sure those could be ported to flow better than a stock Y head.

got any pics of the combustion chamber?

i couldnt find any online.
