Mystery Argentinean Head Pics!!

I believe that head was specifically designed for a 3 liter formula series in Argentina. There are some videos on YouTube showing one of the slant based cars taking laps. I know when the head first surfaced years ago, I did a google search on the name and couldn't find anything. Maybe a spec thing from a specific foundry to "keep the costs down".

Anyway, there is a quote on allpar from one of the original engine designers saying the 170 could run all day at 7K rpm, as long as you could keep the cam lubricated.

there was an Al-U-minimum 4-valve head made by a Gentleman named Ceasares(?) I believe, that was for the 3.0L F3 series there. I posted that, maybe on .org years ago, not a pic tho'. Not sure if I ever posted them on FABO, but if I find them again I'll add them here.
7K even on a factory Slanty head should be no problem for 2.8-3.0L, cam life certainly is the #1 issue, but there are multiple ways to address those, not at all easy/simple.....
