Title: i.d. manufacturer's mark on aluminum head casting
Post by: Moderator on April 06, 2011, 11:40:26 PM
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?

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.
