I think only 4 were made originally, more have since been cast but not many. There is/was a guy, I think in Escondido, that has the restored #1 Winfield car. The head was good but I think not any better than some other OHV conversions. Most race cars win partially on design but largely on preparation and knowledge of chief mechanic and driver ability. Those heads also had 4 special Winfield side-draft carbs, which helped in power output. I've seen 3 of those heads, 2 were on running cars.
