Tony,

From what I gather, the Smith heads have no connection to Smith/Jones or Clay Smith. The On pg. 28 in the July 1950 Hot Rod Magazine, there is small write up about them. It says they were made by Don Smith of Bellflower, CA.

I also have a letter from Don Orosco dated May 1, 1996. In the letter Don states that he believes the Smith heads "are perhaps the rarest of all flathead cylinder heads".

Going by his research, Orosco believed only 8-10 sets were ever cast.

Very interesting. Thanks for the great info.
