Just received some pictures from Tod, and thought I might post them if anyone is interested. These are the pictures of the first mold and core setting in the mold.

Just received another update from Tod. Here is the very first aluminium head casting. Right out of the mold with no clean up at all. It heads to heat treat tomorrow and then it will be brought back for clean up. Getting close now

great job as always. Quick question how many hours does it take from the time the heads are poured and then heat treated to do the final machine work. Clean up head bolt holes etc. no matter what you are selling them for it seems like someone is getting a great deal.
The total time per head would seem to be a expensive amount of intensive labor.
Thank you for the dedication you are putting in to help a relatively small number of people who will be the purchasers of the final product. No matter how many you sell its a small return on the capital investment, but it will be a long term investment for the work you have put in for such a fine product. Please keep up the pictures and info as your time will allow

Are these heads available yet? And are they available with the Winfield script on the head?

you would think a year later the answer would be yes. As far as the Script goes I will be shocked if the answer is yes. Patent infringement is a serious offense! Wayne
