I have 4 cores coming for Winfield head samples. I'm hoping to be able to at least have a casting to show at Hershey. Machined? I doubt it.

I would be interested in a Winfield Repro. Do you have the "Rights" to the name and original script?

Hey Tod,
Are these Winfield head samples cast iron or aluminum ?

I am not putting any script on mine, yet. Mine resembles the Winfield and Cyclone but without any script.

Tod

29restorod · 09-11-2015, 10:02 PM

I would only be interested IF they looked exactly like original Winfield script.

Midwest Tin · 09-11-2015, 10:28 PM

I 2nd 29restorod. I would like it be the same as the original Winfield Head. Jim

fordcragar · 09-12-2015, 01:10 AM

I would be interested in an original looking Winfield script too. Do you have a price on the head yet?

Hey Tod,
Many moons/months ago, I gave my head want preference, but here it is again. I'd like an 8:1 CAST IRON Winfield crowfoot !
Do not care whether it is marked at all with letters/names. Just want the Comp Ratio spot on and of good solid construction. Sound familiar

Still interested in a 7:1 iron if these are getting closer to being made

waxhead · 10-09-2015, 06:17 AM

Did Snyder have these castings at Hershey?? Did anyone see them??

Midwest Tin · 10-09-2015, 06:40 AM

No show. Snyders states they did not have any to show. Jim

waxhead · 10-15-2015, 07:05 AM

Just had an update from Tod, things are still progressing. Here is the latest

"Sample cores came in yesterday. I will be sampling asap."

sxdxmike138 · 10-15-2015, 01:32 PM

I was just told about these repops you are making. Pretty cool! Any idea of a date when they will be available for sale?

waxhead · 10-17-2015, 06:05 PM

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.

waxhead · 10-20-2015, 08:44 PM

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

Tod · 10-21-2015, 09:34 PM

Iron is next. Including crow's foot chambers.

Tod

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?

aonemarine · 08-21-2016, 02:40 PM

Book marked....

C26Pinelake · 08-21-2016, 03:22 PM

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
