Gary,

Somewhere in the thread the OP mentioned that the builder has since passed away, so the OP is on his own unfortunately.

I'm also curious if the Offenhauser parts that Speedway sells are really connected to the Offenhauser we know.

The original Offenhauser has switched to a yellow & red lettered logo. The Offenhauser logo Speedway is using is the old style logo the company used in the 50's & '60's.

The new Offy company seems to be on point and I don't think they would release something that didn't fit. Plus, all of their parts are still made and machined in CA. Nothing they make is offshore.

I wonder if Speedway bought the rights to the old logo.

Does anyone know?
