One thing that bothers me about these is.....
on the first and 3rd cars, they only use 3 exhaust tubes from the head. These are v-8's, am I missing something in the engine design during this time period of build rods. Each cylinder should have and exhaust port, but they are not portrayed on these examples. By the way I have all three anyway, but was just wondering if anyone else picked up on this?

Never mind. Just read some info about flatheads that explain the 3 exhausts.

Yes John, some V-8's exit the two center ports via one tube.
