Ken,

Also of interest is the guy in S.A. that built the V8-60 heads. IF he cast heads, he made the casting patterns.. out of wood I guess. If he has those patterns, part of your task is done.....theoretically you could take two of those heads, cut, and reweld like you originally thought of doing.

You could make a fixture to hold the head halves while welding.

Would you call it a "Ken-dun" instead of Ardun?
