Back to the 1969 Plymouth Indy car effort....
It was more than just Indianapolis 500.
And STP had a SEVEN Indy 500 entries that year. IIRC, they brought 5 plus completely different chassis. Mario won in a completely different back up car than he crashed in practice.
The Plymouth engined car did not qualify for the Indy 500. The other STP cars were Ford and Offy powered.
STP also ran sprint cars. Dirt track were part of the USAC annual championship. 1969 USAC Championship Car season - Wikipedia
Greg Weld put a Plymouth powered sprint car on the pole twice in 1969. STP teammate Mario Andretti ran an Offy powered sprint.
... a complete different time in racing than today.
Here’s parts of 1969 STP Calendar

racing just ain;t the same a driver cannot make up for a sub par car like back then
Bob Mullen did some road race hemi heads for us
they later had a "D" number but I forget which
more torque
Colt
also contact rocker arm specialists in Anderson CA
They make or made case oven case hardened deep heat treated shafts with or without triple chrome which required grinding undersized then copper, then nickel, grind, then chrome
They left LA area about the same time the Air Quality people were coming down hard on the platers
I love those old school "Rat Roaster" manifoldsThere was no intake for the W2 BB heads so one had to be converted to work.
I suppose using an adapted STR was probably a bad choice as it has several known faults!
The Weslake STR was painted 'orange' and it got polished for a street car set-up back in the 80's here in the UK.
With a 1969 only 'sand cast' Dominator fitted it was only ever gonna be a track set-up for high speed ovals (possibly)?
All the research paperwork was lost when Weslake was closed down.
Not seen as important back then, so used for 'fire-lighting' on cold winters nights lol...
Bottom picture shows the original Weslake porting plate laid over a SB W2 gasket for comparison.

Thank youThis thread is a MUST read on Bob Mullen and mid 70’s small block heads.
mid 70's NOS Mullen small block race heads
An old Mullen employee even chimes in with all kinds of cool details. Lots of pictures and comments from back in the day. Maybe the guy who sold it to you 1Badcolt?
From that thread:
Quote:
“I picked these up in a package deal. Part number on box is7007194. Part number on head is 3769974. I have a matching pair. I really don't know their history or viability of use (any good to use?) so I thought I'd ask. What were these originally for? They are fully ported/polished and marked Mullen. They have "360" cast into he head as well. I even have the original boxes which I think are cool. The only think I find odd is the intake bolt pattern is slightly changed . It can be reversed easily, but why do that in the first place? Anyone familiar with these? I'll try to post some pics. Thanks in advance”

Ok, as long as we are covering a few different combinations, look at these pictures I found last night. Bob Glidden's Arrow, NHRA World Championship small block heads. Glidden's work, Mopar, Mullen's, who knows.
