I have seen one

it was on a 429 chevy small block. it used push rods the rockers were split to each valve I remember it had lunati roller cam and and Edelbroke fuel injection. I just don't remember who made the head. but any how what i am really looking for is a head with centraly located plug.

I see a couple of errors in your post. Number 1 chevy never made a 429 engine either small or big block. Number 2 Chevy never made a head with centrally located plugs. Your reference to a 429 engine would be a Ford engine. The only engine with centrally located plugs that I can think of is the 426 Dodge hemi.

the block and crank were aftermarket. with aftermarket heads and aftermarket cam
world products make a smallblock with a 4.2 bore and many companys make a 3.875 stroke making a 429.5 chevy smallblock. I am lookingfor an after market head with centaly located plug. I know that Jim fueling engenering makes ones for big blocks. but he don't make them for small block

Okay, I hope this helps. I know that Crower manufactured an experimental 4 valve head for small-block chevy's in 1965 and Chevy engineers looked at that possibility. But, there is a company out there that makes them now. I read an article a couple of years ago in either Hot Rod or Super Chevy about a small company that was making quad valve cylinder heads for small-blocks that were run off of the original cam. If you contact customer service at these publications they will send you the info that you need to get these heads. If I remember right these heads were expensive, but man-o-man did they get power.
