Ron- I thought the 12 cylinder engines were based on the V8 configuration. I think it was J. Robinson was talking to a friend of his and he said they are based on the V8 60 configuration. When I bought mine sure enough it is. This is a long story but if I don't explain this it won't make sense how I have gotten to the point I'm at. Don Ferguson is the guy reproducing the Ardun heads now. He has helped me with this so far. When I told him what I wanted to do he said he had a friend in Oregon that had a set of Ardun style heads for a V8 60. Apparently they are pretty common in South America in cabs. I don't know who made them, but if you search on U Tube there are some there. Anyway the guy sends me his heads and valve train so I can make drawings of what I need. That's how all of this has happened up to this point. Now I am working on either machining them out of billet in two pieces and welding them together or having castings made. If I have castings made I can only make a few sets for myself because Don will let me use the Ardun name on the valve cover if it is just for me.
Rickomatic- It is going to take some time to do this project. One of the most challenging parts, believe it or not, is the front fenders.
Don- What thread is his under?
IC2- I'm not sure witch way I'm going. I think after I start it will show me the better look.
