Russ Arao is a great guy, his shop is right around the corner from my office here in Chatsworth. He has one of those heads on display in his front showroom. Same guy that did the 16V pushrod heads a few years back. Neat shop, when I was there to get some balancing done, he was doing a V8 of some sort that was going racing at Bonneville. Super nice guy,
Sorry this doesn't say much about his heads.

Does it matter how good they cool if you have them lying in a display to look at and cherish every day? Those are beautiful heads to look at just from the design point of view.
