That's a well engineered product. Looks solidly built. Ford was ahead of his time. Wish he was not an anti-semite. His production line concept was more briliant than his car - which as also brilliant.
Idk if you mentioned it, but i would add a pcv valve. Those old engines didnt have crankcase ventilation, and that caused a lot of em to gunk up and eventually die.
They gummed up because they had non detergent oil in them back then and some people kept running it because of fudd lore that detergent oil would hurt them, based on cases where people changed over filthy engines without desludging them first and clogged them up.
Based on my research, the Giant Power is very similar to the Waukesha-Ricardo, and I found this comment from a dyno test: "Compared to the stock head, the Waukesha-Ricardo head produces a 14 percent increase in peak power and a 9 percent increase in peak torque."
Merry Christmas, and a happy new Engine!
Really happy you have it back and can get back on the project

@@cmw184 They vent through the fill cap, plus I have the transmission cover vent.

Looks spiffy.
Where do you get the rebuild done at? And how much?? Thanx!
How much extra HP does the head add?
