FH std heads
 

2 Attachment(s)
I has a 59 block that has a crack down in oilrail but issue it's overbored max.
Idea is has a nice show room engine that might get a future.
I has become to really like the early style but post war with the Weiand hi-rise that might be a pre war intake but fit that style with std heads on.
Ex how Hendersons roadster engine look like, se picture.
I has a Kurten modify LZ V12 distributor, and I also has 2 Stromberg 97.
I also has crank and rods and a oilpan.

The engine going to my 32 5W coupe is more a full race engine with a Merc -41 block with aluminium L&S heads, and that has a set up combo that I will use.

I found a set of Ford heads ( told to be PU ) but there was also Mercury heads and Ford heads ( not PU )

-Some information on this (?)

This intake Henderson used, is that a Weiand or a Edelbrock ?
I actually like this early modest style. Less, but more.

Its difficult to tell from the engine picture if the heads are aluminum. If they are i would expect a more lighter color overall in the picture being aluminum. It looks like the heads may be the same color as the block maybe a shade of blue or purple ?
