I am on the very low end of the hot rod bell curve. They appear to be Grancor.
So, guys on the other end of the curve, please tell us....
 
I asked chatgtp. Don't believe anything you read! Here's how bad that turned out: Chat said it's a smooth Ford 21 stud head. When i called BS on that, it revised and said it's a GEM head. BS again. I asked for images of Eddie Meyers, which only came up with circular around each spark plug.
 
This is the close-up of the picture. It is blurry and that is why I included the full picture. It was not for entertainment purposes! Yuk yuk. It appears to be taken in the 1940s. Forgot the close-up, will follow

It looks like the name starts with a W. I thought maybe Winfield or Weiand but just can’t seem to make it fit.
 
I am inclined to agree with the Edelbrock heads. I found this interesting info about Edelbrock “inventing” the use of nitromethane in Ford 60 midget racing to beat the more powerful Offenhauser powered cars. Seems it was always the cheaters that moved racing technology forward. Those were great times that made the excitement and intrigue of all forms of racing grow. Every kid with an old car was trying to figure how to make more power from his engine. This article is bringing great memories to me this morning. We had one family in particular that was very good in drag racing. I was able to hang around different “stables” (Kube) as horsepower was talked and created! Heck, I’m getting revved up right now!!!!! Big smile on my old puss!
