For those who care and don't already know, the heads that Nic Aries has made
that I have seen are reproductions of "Howard" heads. very simular to Wayne
heads these were cast by Howard Johansen in the early 50s. I bought an
unfinished casting and finished it and ran it in my 32 for a few years. I
then sold it to George Cambell of the "Salt Circus" roadster. Some time
later Nic began making the much better new units. Rich Fox
