1940 Ford V8-60 large bearing block, with period modifications to the valve area to accommodate the use of ARDUN heads; block in nice shape with a couple of the usual cracks that occur between the bolt threads and small water outlets
Complete early production set ARDUN OHV conversion heads; one side is NOS never used in perfect condition with only valve guides installed; the other head is excellent condition showing some use and a very minor repair perfectly done to one combustion chamber edge otherwise superb shape, this side only has complete new valve assemblies and seats installed, intake ports on this side have been port matched to the Hilborn-Travers F.I.
All rocker assemblies complete, intact, and in excellent condition
Rocker (valve) covers appear to be NOS and are even more rare than the heads themselves as they are one set of only two pairs of this style made (one set was on the prototype)! They differ from the others at the ends in that they do not bridge from the upper to lower rocker cover area and they are without the four small dimples as seen in the more common ones (refer to image), there is a slightly different profile to these as well, having a much more pronounced DOHC appearance
