Looking for History on “Giant Speed Equipment”
Hoping to build a thread with any history on the “Giant Speed Equipment". I’m guessing they were active in Los Angeles area in the 50s or 60s? I picked up a Gemsa flathead for my T, and noticed how similar the lettering was between the Gemsa and the Giant.

Yep! The heads use the Haibe patented combustion chamber. Chaffin sold a Giant Power sump a while back, missed it.

Re: Looking for History on “Giant Speed Equipment”
This old Giant Equipment brochure was posted on Facebook back in may. Judging by the early phone number it’s 1950s, since they changed to the 7 digit phone numbers in 1958-59.
