    Well, you know the old saying 1 step forward 2 back? That's about where I am. Don Ferguson (the guy who makes the Ardun motor) came by and brought me a V8 60 Ardun style head and valve train.
    I was showing him how far along I was on designing my head for the 12 cylinder. He looked at it for a few minuets, and told me it really looked nice, it should make good power and be able to turn some good rpm. Then he says,"I thought you wanted to build a Ardun style head?' I thought for a second and said, "Your right, that's what I want."
    I got in a hurry and started making things easy instead of what I originally started to build. So I'm starting over, and am going to build a brand new
    1940's style head! Damn
    Here are a couple shots of the V8 60 head.

    Ken, is there a way you can angle the plugs in so they're closer to the center of the chamber?
