  1. Has anyone seen one of these or have any history on it? Pretty crazy and primitive fins!

    Wonder what you are supposed to use for a waterpump with that one. Looks cool, if you can keep the engine cool. Rod
     
  8. No discernable casting marks that I can see.

    I would go with homemade as well.

    Looks like a nice job, i'm guessing it wasn't that hotrodder's first rodeo!

    Nice piece, seems to be in pretty good shape as well.
     
  9. Thermo-siphon?
