Zipps,

Don't think the MOCO ever made Shovel heads in CI, the cylinders are in CI but he heads are Ally. Far as I am aware the same went for the pan heads.

BR,

Simon

You might find that the highly regarded but low-profile aftermarket company Axtell did them. Or does them.

Do a web search. I'm not certain, but...
