    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?

    How many hours a day do you guys in California have???????? You are like the Energizer Bunny Ken, always juggling one exotic project or another. God Bless you for taking on something of this magnitude........I have trouble trying to match up stock parts, and here you go reinventing the wheel.


    That engine is cool as is, when you are done onlookers are going to have this puzzled look on their faces every time you pop the hood. (assuming of course that you RUN A HOOD.

    This project is going to be fun to watch come together.

    Forget how many hours in a day! My question is what do you do for a living Ken, to be able to even think about such a project?

    P.S. I think it's a great idea. It's very different, and is sure to turn a lot of heads. Good luck with it!
    I ain't dumb, I just ain't been showed a whole lot!
