    That would have to be a very rare part. I once saw some Drake DOHC heads at Dema Elgins. They were made for a SBC block. They had never been finished to the point of making cams, which was what Dema was doing.

    Looks like some old Ford parts to me.

    But the injectors appear to be opposite the single bolt hole. For you guys that like looking at this kind of engine display, you can find this engine and many more at the Unser Museum. They will let you get as close to them as you want too.

  5. ^^^Good guess^^^..., but not the way they are connected with the linkage and lines. We've been over that already.

    It reminds me of our 4 cyl Cosworth BPD midget engine which ran a Hilborn injector. Perhaps two of these injectors used for V8 config.

    Either that or Pontiac Super Duty Twin Cam 4 cyl...

    Could the injectors be for a Kenyon Suzuki V8 midget engine? Just a wild guess.

    I finally heard back from the seller - overall length 16-3/4". Daimler hemi is 14-3/8". I suggested he check again with Hilborn but he let the auction run so I guess some poor*****er with a Daimler has something he can hang on the wall....
