Please help me identify these billet BBC heads

Hello,
I purchased these heads as being build by Batten but several of my fellow racers were not so certain. I was hoping someone here could shead a little light on the heads. Also I was told they use a shaft rocker for a standard iron bbc head such as a 990. Is this the case?
Thanks for any info,

I don't really know but Bacman (Mandolini) made conventional style BBC billet heads once upon a time.

 

Pics don't show up in your post.......

 

Thanks,
I will try just the links to the pics on Flickr.

Yep, they look like Morgan's.

Morgan's. We run them

 

Besides the strength of the billet, what advantages do they have over say a head like the Dart 360?

 

Not run Dart so can't compare, these run 2.375 inlet & 1.875 exhaust
Can take stock valve train parts, use 5 exhaust bolts and have a canted exhaust ports.

They have run as quick as 5.5's too

I do have an original advert from National dragster I will try to dig out.

 

Sweet. So far we have gone 6.42 shut off at 1000 feet

A soft 4.04 1/8th too only 172mph

 

Are they a copy of the 861 Bowtie head? I had a set of the 861's done by him years ago and they look similar except these of course are billets.

 

Awesome to hear some news about these heads, I tried to do some research on them last year, the ones we've got have Morgan letter stamped on them, we got them a year ago on an engine (KB olds) we purchased, they must of been beat up over the years, oil finds its way into the exhaust in the shut down area, I think it's sucking in around pushrods tubes into the inlet port when the throttle is shut.

6.86 @ 209MPH PB
2875lbs Promod on a 10.5 tire
526 KB Olds block

Cheers
