yep could make some thing work like a RHS or dart s and make them look old plug the bolt holes JB weld some humps on them or get some alum and paint them

Could have the tricked out aluminum heads then do a bit of grinding on the accessory bolt pads, fill the holes, weld some camel humps, then with some paint...... Thanks Pat, that'd be kewl, huh? At least to the casual observer it would appear to be old style heads!!!!

Man, this project gets to be more fun everyday!!!!!! Having an absolute blast and still just in the planning stage! Soon as the chassis table is empty, the '57 frame is going on it!!!
