    I found this cool stuff at the Jefferson swap and you never know what you find.
    So what are they and no cross referencing on the numbers . They looks to be aluminum or magnesium and have 6 inches between the ports. Is this a header or water outlet for something. You can see some corrosion on the inside so alcohol may have done this ?

    They definitely look to be water manifolds, though I don't think they're Offy, or Miller, or any of the other 'common' DOHC racing heads/engines, ie HAL, Dreyer, Gallivan, Frontenac, etc.
    Maybe off a production car of the teens or twenties?

    Look at 1914 Overland for the shiny one.
