Looks like a cylinder head to me.

It's a Miller Scholfield OHV Model A-B Head.

Brumfield head

Yes it looks like a Miller/Cragar head. Anyway I can get a full size or a good digital copy of that?

Just to add, the small box in the lower right hand corner says Brumfield Speed Head.

I tried to read that, but it was too blurry when I enlarged it.

Yes that small box (title corner) says Brumfield Speed Head.

I would also like a clearer photo, if possible. It's definitely a OHV.

Well, most are pretty close with guess. It is an OHV head and a special head. I was going to wait for Jim B to look at it , before revealing. He is the only one that I know of who has this type head, as it's kinda rare. This was Millers first attempt at the OHV head for sale for A/B. Eventually , with mods, turned into Schofield/Cragar/Denver, etc ..heads.

This is blueprint for the MIller 'slope-sided' OHV Head. There may be some out there somewhere, but I've only seen one ever. Wonder if Jim has even seen this before ?

BTW...not mine, so can not get/make copy, sorry.

If you decide to cast/machine them from aluminum, I will take one.

Yeah, so would I...ha !
While this head was start of Miller/Schofield venture into A/B OHV Head, it was not ideal design, from a cooling aspect. The 'slope' side was where the later version (Schofield) made it square side and added extra cooling passages/capacity.
So, if a person were 'deep pockets' and needed to do an expensive project, IMV, this would still not be worth spending on because of the cooling aspect/expense vs ROI.

I am neither a engineer nor foundry man, so opinions may vary on this. A survey of guys like you/me , might garner a few takers, but not enough to make it worthwhile to the maker.
