"Engine Joe" Bell in Tiffin, Ohio had some heads cast a couple years ago......

[Joe Bell]

I made a dozen of them in cast iron, the time it took to machine was not worth what people would pay for them, I did make a couple that got used on some interesting projects.

How about a picture?

[Joe Bell]

we played with this head for a while first one was 90 lbs. cut it and sliced it to figure out how to lighten it, got it down to 45 lbs. a couple friends have them and two where sold, a good friend machined them and added Engine Joe on it. Les had a couple he cut down to make a really high compression head for his five main block.

Bob at Gaslight has one on the shelf, he may sell it?

I think I found one of the 90# heads @ a swap meet in Arizona a few years ago, didn't buy it because of the weight. Wish I had. I picked up a
Ricardo head that is pretty heavy also but both look to have a lot of coolant capacity & would good in the southwest. Joe what was the
compression ratio of those heads & can they be run with high compression pistons?
Craig.

[Joe Bell]

Craig ,I left plenty of casting to mill more off to raise compression if wanted and no you could not run high compression pistons with it.
