i.d. manufacturer's mark on aluminum head casting

Here's a snapshot of an aluminum big block Chevy head...

Can you help me i.d. who made the cylinder head based on the distinctive "W" (or "M") casting mark?

more clues might possibly be found here: http://www.britishracecar.com/ScottHughes-McLaren-M8F.htm

Isn't that Winters Foundry?

And we have a winner! Thanks Dennis. I did a quick Google search and learned all about Winners Foundry, their snowflake logo, etc.

To bad it was not a stock iron head. I could have told you where it was cast the day and the roughly the hour.
