Simon,
They are extremely rare. Haven't seen any for sale in a long, long time.
George,
What is the purpose of the little crossover pipe on the intake manifold in the top photo?

The pipe is a water cross over from head to head. It is intended to prevent air bubbles or a fresh start air pocket from forming in either head. There may be another use that I am unaware of.
on the intake cross over...
I would guess the other tube on right bank is going to the swirl tank, thus a bypass around the thermostat to purge air.
I wasn't aware there was a head port that allowed coolant into the intake.
something I would consider installing

Exactly. So the intake was modified to allow this feature. Wonder how well it worked?
I typically run the tubes forward. Hard to say how well it works without filling a dry engine and running it and then making the mod on the same engine dry. I crack the fittings when it's being coolant filled to burp the air in the back---that does work. I can not say if it help with cooling or not, sorry.
This was a plus .030 stock crank quench 4V headed Cleveland that dynode at 502HP best pull after timing and jet tweaking. A good driver the original customer ran it maybe 2000 miles a year---it was sold last year.

Thanks George,so just fake quad cam rocker covers,not a fan of that.
By the look of the mess of the catch tank Id say this engine still suffers from some over heating problems.

Those Valve Covers are not for everyone! That said I kinda like them. Not to try to Fake anyone out, just liked them. Back in the day you could get them from Hall Pantera! $400 a pair! Ouch! And, no they don't have them any longer! I don't like them that much! lol That said, if someone wanted to part with a Pair for under $200 I'd be interested!
