Default Winfield heads

For those of you that were interested, here is the second aluminum sample. Spark plugs are not in yet so that the customer may choose spark plug size.

If you would like to complain or criticize, start your own thread and whine all you want.

Tod I wish in my old state of age and ignorance that I had the ability to do what you do with such ease and design. They heads look fantastic. If I could get all of my antique furniture (my second business after retirement) to look as good I would be dam proud. You must have a great sense of happiness to take a idea ,run with it. And produce a superior product. Bravo. Keep up the good work I am sure the engines will be just as fine a product as old Henry produced back in the day , only better that even he could have dreamed of

Wow, work of art and only aluminum 'crowfoot' Winfield in existence !
Looks to be 7:1 / 7.5:1. Great thinking on the plug selection process also. Congratulations.

Hm, this might look great on a certain block also

It's around 7.25:1. It would look great on the aluminum block.

"no whining "aloud"". Is it OK to whisper whine, then?

Tod, great work as per usual. The Winfield script looks good. When will you be doing another run of cast iron Winfield crows-foot heads??

As soon as the last of the Thomas run is made. Within a week or 2.
