Saw this at the Grand National Roadster Show. Anyone run into it before or see it run? Interesting.....

Never seen one. I bet that makes the SOHC engine look "compact".

Looks like a Cosworth with a blower or a copy of a set of old Batten overhead cam heads from Australia. The placard says they are home made.. Nice work

Gives me a woody, but I think it'd be a tight fit in a Cobra...............LOL

According the the info poster (see orig message above), he made these from scratch. If I read it right, sounds like he welded a couple of heads together after some serious machine shop surgery. Sure says something for homegrown ingenuity! A lot of "workshop engineering" sense too. Just show that you can do anything if you really want to.

And yes, it would be a tighter fit than shoe-horning a cammer into a Cobra!
