[anteek]

I'm looking for information on the TORNADO ohv heads made by lees speed shop for the flathead. Does anyone use/have a set or seen them? I never heard of them before today,on the HAMB.

Pricing was still at that time considered high because you could buy a car cheaper than a set of those heads. No doubt they were neat additions to any hot rodder who could afford to buy them.

I think they may have had water jackets. Note the two hose fittings that hang down between the exhaust ports in the promotional literature.

The heads at Speedway are a different version with different valve covers.

That intake later morphed in to the HARRELL 3X2. Wasn't associated with the TORNADO heads.
