  4. Here in New Zealand in the 50s or 60s a guy named Ron Hogan built twin plug heads. I sure hope someone puts up a pic of these.

    Those are great heads and hard to come by. Cool water logs like the Smith heads.

    Almost bought a set of Kongs from the man himself in '92. Went with Navarros from Barney directly.

    Oh well.
     
  13. Last night I was holding a Bronze Alexander V860 head, I'm sure that is a rare one. I will take pics on my next visit.

    I had finned cast iron heads with "Kogel" inscribed by the water inlets on my Model A project in 1959. I've never seen another pair and would like to learn more about them. I traded the engine for a couple cases of beer in 1963.

    Kogels are certainly cool. They had two types; a "street" and a racing version. There are copies of their adds in one of the Hot Rod Mag. reprints.

    What makes them rare today is they had a flaw that would cause them to crack. If you find a set, have them magg'd or really, really look them over carefully.

    It is not uncommon to see these heads cracked and you don't realize this until you've got a cylinder full of water/coolant.

    The racing version had a crazy looking chamber/ramp around the valves.

    They are from Norm Frick. CNC'd and will/can build them to your specs. They are two piece as you see the allen head bolts around the spark plug holes.

    He is also a very cool guy to talk with.
