I have a new one (single intake) in the works because the pattern is so bad it is near impossible to machine with consistency. Working on a new model of the Thomas head also, because the pattern needs replaced now.

Hey Tod,
Good to hear from you !
Regarding Winfield intakes, FYI, I've looked / hunted for a loong time for any Winfield , aluminum and/or iron, DUAL carb intake. Guess what...no such animal on this planet, seems to be !!
Anyway, you have indicated that it is easy to make aluminum 'stuff'. I'd buy a 2x2 Winfield aluminum intake, if you make such.
BTW, the various sized Winfield carbs have progressively LARGER intake throats and so the intakes should have also, IMO, for maximal operation, eh. What you think friend ?

What kind of mounting flange does it take? We already do the double and triple intakes.

BTW, Rick, I finally got core quotes back for the Winfield heads. Got to get cracking on that now. I also have to cut the block crankcase core plugs to make the 5 main blocks.

Hi Tod; any progress or up-date on the new blocks, but with a B' style valve cover instead of the A' ? Thanks.

Steve, I just finished making the core plug for the rear B tail versions. The B valve cover modification will not be much work. I think you are the only one wanting one like that, so far. I will only do that for one casting in a loose piece type modification.

Hey Tod,
I'd like the same B valve cover also. I'm talking the 5x5 B block.

Hey Tod,
THANKS , for the update to us on the Winfield heads and block progress. That's exciting, indeed !
As far as the Winfield 'mounting flange', take a look at the pictured single Winfield intake at the top of this thread. This would be and is same same as double would be fitted. ALL intakes pretty much mounted the flange like Ford did originally, as seen with this single Winfield intake. I can send you pictures of a double (2x2) Winfield that I have and intend to use with your head and block. But, it is not an 'original' Winfield. Looks great , to me, though and I got the idea from speaking/learning from Jim B.
