I have a Yellow one but it was never at Reno. Reggie owns a Silver one. It was probably his. I go every year and I never saw it there though.

Smokey Yunick talked about those heads in his book. They look more like a semi Hemi or Porcupine big block design head. They also look very cool. There is nice engine picture of Charlie's on the net.

Somebody had a set of these heads on Ebay last year. I was seriously thinking about buying them to put on my JL8 car but after talking to Charley about some of the hard to find parts I decided not to pursue it. You need to find a crossram base for them and I think the distributor is different too. Very coo, racing inspired parts, but according to Wayne Guinn's book, they didn't flow any better than the stock heads ported.

Rob you should talk Wes Jerde who built motors for Dick's shop.I think it was him that told me that he and Dick went to GM to tour the facility on the premise of seeing production of the hemi motor.I can't remember but I think they were invited there to provide some input?
