My pop has been into Nash Healey's forever and is finally building his '53 Le Mans motor. They only cast 3 hemi heads, one was left at the track after the rocker shafts failed, This one, and his other one that hasn't been machined yet.

WOW! I thought big block chevy's had some weird valvetrain geometry!!
 
Please make a video of this thing starting and running when it's ready. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to hear it.
 
I present "Ruby" 342 hp. 5 speed, posi, and 4-wheel disks. :dance2:

I was wrong about him having another head that was unmachined. the second head hasn't been seen since the 50's so this is the only known one!
