Thumbs up Y'all know your stuff, so.....

Here's the weirdest one I've seen yet---what looked like a Model B flathead V-8 with a pair of "ARDUN" overhead-cam (???!!) heads on it? It was in a "Cracker-box" Jersey Sea-skiff---racing boat. Twelve and a half feet of abso-f*ckin-lute terror. The newer fiberglass fakes with 408's in 'em hit 85 and need to have their interiors sprayed (not pumped) out after each good run.... Anyone ever heard of this type of head? It had Hemi-type wire leads right through the covers. Is it a ohc "kit" for the Flathead? The owner of the boat said his FATHER bought the engine from an auto shop wh/ had removed the engine from a street-rod in 1952. He said they were old THEN! Calling Mr. Fixit!
