    Does anyone have or know of a good source for history and tech. info on a vintage D.O. HAL ? A good buddy of mine just bought one and so far info seems to be real scarce. Anything anyone can suggest would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Gary....

    HAL on a B block or full HAL on a 5 main HAL block? HAL made a Midget engine from scratch too.

    Tell him to contact Kem Robertson of Huntsville, AL. Kem has been researching the history of ALL the historic banger (Head) builders: Hal, Fronty, Gallivan, Roof, Miller-Schofield, Dreyer, etc. He has accumulated more info on the products and the producers than you could imagine. Someday it will all be available in a book but in the meantime He can probably answer most questions or direct him to those who can. His e-mail is frontyAF16@aol.com.

    It's a HAL on B block. I will pass all of this info onto my buddy. No pics , I have no knowledge of how to do that. Maybe I can convince him to have his son put some on here later. Thank you all for the info we really appreciate it.

    There were at least 3 different 2-cam Hal's made, all were good. Hal was the most prolific 2-cammer made back in the day, and would hold there own against Offies on the short tracks. There is one currently running Bonneville in a roadster although he has done a lot of internal work on it.
