We never did get to see the chamber design. Maybe someday.

I am currently writing a directing a mini documentary on Ed Winfield, and we mention this head in the video. Would it be possible to use these photos? Thank you!

You might also speak with Ed Iskenderian - one of the few alive that would know a lot about the other 'Ed'. Also, Dan Price here in Ohio has a ton of OHV stuff and knows an awful lot about all the various conversions (he makes his own as well). You might look him up:

The Riley 2 port was a good ‘civil’ piece. Riley sold his 4 ports with matched sequentially numbered dual 2” side drafts …to his racing friends for serious racing. These matched sets were the race winners ! All parts matched/assembled by George himself.
I had such a ready to run 4 port set , on my shelf , for that someday special build for myself… until my health went to heck two yrs ago. The setup went to an original racer to finish his restoration… 10K. These old race cars had a nasty habit of burning engine to ground. This was contribution to replace that. Heart breaker. The guy( previous owner) died of old age. Hope it is not jinxed… but new owner is a yute.
