Title: How to id. Daimler 2.5L hemi head ?
Post by: roverman on November 29, 2016, 12:11:15 PM
I have an aluminum hemi head, about 4.25" bore spacing and push rod actuated. Nobody I show it to can id. it. "Wiki" no help. It has casting and stamped #'s.  What's next ?  If I only found one more.... what a sweet RV8, to me.  Thanks, art.

Art, remember a while back there was a V8 with 4 cylinder Toyota head on it. Does it look like those?

Ok, none of the above.  Guess I need to get photo capable and start a "name that head" contest ?

That would be great Dennis.  The bore spacing is my first question.  Thanks, art.
