    Without a doubt Rick's more than capable. This is a project for a customer ... it's how he must want it, eh? At least for now.

    I've got to say never saw a conversion like that one. Quite a engineering piece there. Wonder how many were ever produced.

    Pretty nice article in the current issue of Hot Rod Deluxe... I would love to have Smith anything, purely for it being a part of Texas history...

    I think the only other set of V8-60 Smith "jiggler" heads I have ever seen are in Speedy Bill's museum. Anybody know if I'm right or am I just having another senior moment?

    In any event, the V8-60 and the stand it is supported on are some real eye candy, for certain.

    Really rare heads and you don't see them much now days. Thanks for posting and love the stand. Very original.
     
  14. Not that it matters, unless he wants it correct, but the plug wires on the Barker dual Wico mags are wrong. 2 and 3 cross from the left mag to the right side of the engine, and 6 and 7 from the right mag to the left of the engine. Still, the Smith Jiggler heads are pure jewelery. Nice job.
