    ARAO 32 valve OHV heads

    Apparently they've been around for 20+ years or something like that, but I'm just getting wind of them now. 4 valves per cylinder, pentroof combustion chambers is really all American small and big block ever really needed. How cool is that? They seem to be really pandering to the S/BBC and...
