Not sure if this pic will show up. Would like to identify this OHC engine as to what set up it is.

Re: OHC engine identification
Sure looks interesting. It doesn’t appear to be any of the overheads made commercially. I wonder if it was a custom locally built version?
The exhaust and ignition are in the right and intake appears to be on the left. What is that plate on the rear, seems to be for water???

Re: OHC engine identification
Frontenac SR head with the left side spark plugs not installed and plugged off. The push rod holes for rocker arm style are also plugged (not necessary). Extra head bolt holes drilled on left under spark plug location. I don't like that they drilled the head on the left for water circulation. That plate on the back can't be for water as it goes into the cam tower and rack, probably was a support for an oil line going up to the cam via the bottom of the plate.
The lower case on the front would normally be at the level of the block but this one goes to the center of the head. The cam assembly seems unusually tall. The front oil pump looks to be a Green Engineering unit.
I am not sure if this is a mixture of overhead cam parts from another car or an "invention" but with what is also included I am sure it would already be in my collection if it wasn't a 12 hour drive each way.
