Interesting.  The rules state OEM crankcase and head on OHV motors.  The rules also state that components made after 1955 and EXACT reproductions MAY be cosidered legal in vintage classes if they offer no competitive advantages.  More importantly it continues with "pre-installation approval by the contest board is required.  Tread carefully or tears may be shed.
