I used to have pics of the head Scott Koffel did for a local guy that worked at his shop.
I'll keep looking

I think that's a G head significantly reshaped into a 'swirl'
I guess I never did finish loading pics from the RedBox top end Redux. Even at SDAC last year we already knew there was an oil control/smoking problem with the head(motor was bought used as 'low mile' so I can't really whine much) so at JT's house a few of us puilled the valve cove for a looksee. That's when we saw the dropped valve guide and the seal just riding the stem up and down on the #3 so we assumed that's where all the oil was coming from. Upon teardown a couple weeks ago I discovered that #3 WASN'T the big offender Surprise surprise #1 has soooo much oil going down the TU header there was a 1/16" layer of coke all the way around the runner. Clearly that's why you had to change that #1 plug on the drive out to Cali (PHX ) Cordes. I ended up building another head that's in the earlier pics in this thread so I haven't dissasembled the old head yet to diagnose the problem but Cordes was adding a quart of oil for each tank of fuel on the drive out so that's bad Umkaaaay... Heres a few more pics of the new top end, I actually had to port the TU header with a scroll/abrasive cartridge roll on the #1 runner to that layer of coked oil out.
