Default Weslake/Yenko SBC cylinder head

I knew Weslake was building 4 valve pent-roof heads for American V-8 engines.
I was unaware of Don Yenko’s involvement.

That's a really cool piece, but what would you do with it?

Almost sounds like they would like to find a match and who wouldnt. That would be super cool to have on an engine

Cut 4 cylinders off a small block and make a slant 4.
Not sure how they did it but the midget racers used to do it. Used to race them against the Offy's.

You are correct Dave, Sesco built many for midget car racing.

I guess there must have been intake manifolds made for these too? A sheet metal intake would work, but finding one of the original intake manifolds would probably be just as hard as finding the other head.

The 4 cylinder thing would be cool.
