WOW! I want to see that Duesy when Jay gets it finished.
At least we, in the Model T world, have Mark Chaffin's reincarnation of the RAJO Head:

I now have one of these kits to go on my speedster in the near future. It really is a nice job.

Mark,
Yes, I am delighted with the Rajo Kit. I will post a few pictures of the components here (I hope you don't mind, but it is so nice that others should see it.)
The head itself:

And finally, the only flaw I have found in the whole thing is this slight rough area on the head where the valve cover rests. I do not think this will cause any problem whatsoever that a bit of Permatex or Silicone would not fix.

Mark Chaffin, I think you are to be commended for building this Rajo Head. It is a beautiful piece of work and I know a lot of time and effort went into this. Model T people all over the country should be pleased with your success. Thank you. Bill

Hi Bill!

Have not heard from you for a while. Hope all is well with you. Thank you for your positive comments. It makes it all worth while.
